taumata newsletter

taumata can be translated as pinnacle, peak, or high-level and reflects the key role that professional leaders play in the life of the institution and their colleagues.

WORKING AS A TEACHER IN NZ

 

The Council's Registration Policy contains all of the relevant requirements, policies and processes relating to registration. 

 

Many of these have already been in place for a number of years, and after extensive consultation since 2008, they are now presented for the first time together in one overarching document. 

 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS PROFESSIONAL LEADER

As a professional leader, you will be overseeing a range of teaching staff at different stages in their career. 

 

The Registration Policy is a useful document to help you to understand what it means to employ teachers who are provisionally registered, fully registered or registered subject to confirmation.

 

It also outlines the requirements for teachers to gain and maintain registration, and how the Council determines whether teachers meet these requirements.

THE POLICY SECTIONS

 

Section One provides an overview and summary of the registration system. 

Section Two describes the requirements for being registered in each category. 

Section Three includes individual policy documents that you may need to access such as the Limited Authority to Teach Policy. 

Section Four includes all of the relevant standards and guidelines that underpin the registration system, such as the Registered Teacher Criteria, Code of Ethics for Registered Teachers and Guidelines for Induction and Mentoring and Mentor Teachers
