Stakeholder survey results 2019 infographic
AITSL’s 2019 stakeholder survey garnered 5,561 responses across all states and territories. Close to four in five respondents were school leaders or teachers while fewer than one in ten were from education sector organisations. 4% of respondents were pre-service teachers and 3% were from initial teacher education providers. Two thirds of respondents were from a major city. Of the stakeholders that worked in a school, two thirds worked in a government school while fewer than one in five worked in an independent school. A similar proportion, 16%, worked in a Catholic school. Almost half worked in a primary school and one third worked in a secondary school. 86% of stakeholders were very or fairly familiar with AITSL. Awareness was broadly consistent across all states and territories. It was highest in Western Australia at 91% and lowest in New South Wales at 83%. The most common way for stakeholders to engage with AITSL over the past 12 months was through the website, with 91% engaging this way. Almost four-in-five stakeholders had used AITSL tools or resources and approximately three quarters had read AITSL mail. More than a quarter of stakeholders had engaged with AITSL via social media. Facebook was the most popular choice, with 66% of those who had used social media to engage indicating they had used this platform. Almost all stakeholders, 97%, were aware of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. Approximately three quarters were aware of Graduate to Proficient: Australian Guidelines for Teacher Induction into the Profession, the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework, and the Certification of Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers in Australia. Stakeholders rated AITSL’s school leader-specific tools and resources 7.6 out of 10 and teacher-specific tools and resources 7.5 out of 10.
