Professional development during the provisional registration period
The provisionally registered teacher will engage in ongoing reflection, identification of learning goals and areas for development and professional learning against the Professional Standards for Queensland Teachers.
The QCT endorses expectations that effective induction programs will be provided for provisionally registered teachers in Queensland. This should involve a planned program of professional learning and development against the Professional Standards for Queensland Teachers with the support of one or more fully registered teachers
Elements of effective induction programs are identified in the work of employing authorities (e.g. the Flying Start Induction Toolkit for Beginning Teachers: DETA 2007) and registration authorities, and in reports such as An Ethic of Care (DEST 2002).
A suite of Optional Tools has been developed that may assist the provisionally registered teacher to reflect on practice and establish a professional learning log.
