Registered Teacher Criteria workshops
The NZ Teachers Council hosted a series of workshops in 2010 to help professional leaders and others successfully implement the new Registered Teacher Criteria with their teachers. They provided an opportunity to workshop materials to support professional development of colleagues in implementing the new criteria. The Criteria replaced the Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions in 2011.
A series of additional workshops were held from February - April 2011, primarily for those professional leaders who missed the 2010 workshops.
Resources developed for these workshops and to help teachers and professional leaders work with the Registered Teacher Criteria are still available on the workshop resources web page.
Ongoing support
School advisory services such as Team Solutions are now familiar with the Criteria and schools should approach their local teams if they want further support to introduce the Criteria to teaching staff.
Organisations providing professional development to early childhood education (ECE) services should contact Deborah.Wansbrough@teacherscouncil.govt.nz. Deborah can provide professional development advice on the Criteria to ECE services.
Further information can be found on the Registered Teacher Criteria page, which also provides the timeline for implementation.
