Registered Teacher Criteria

The new standards for registration, the Registered Teacher Criteria, are finalised and ready for implementation after extensive consultation and trialling. The Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions will remain current for most teachers during 2010 and will be progressively replaced by the Registered Teacher Criteria from 2011 onwards.

Supporting information and resources will progressively become available during 2010. Some material will be published in hardcopy and sent to schools and early childhood education services. Other material will primarily be published on the Council’s website. Follow these links to information about implementing the Registered Teacher Criteria.

For further information contact Inquiries@teacherscouncil.govt.nz or policy@teacherscouncil.govt.nz for information about professional development to support implementation.
