Teachers share a significant responsibility in preparing young people to lead successful and productive lives. The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers reflect and build on national and international evidence that a teacher’s effectiveness has a powerful impact on students, with broad consensus that teacher quality is the single most important in-school factor influencing student achievement.
The Classroom Practice Continuum aligned to the Professional Practice Domain of the Standards. This Domain focuses on professional practices that can be directly observed in the classroom and around which evidence can be gathered.
