My Teaching Advice Professional Learning: seeking advice from an experienced teacher

My Teaching Advice (MTA) is a platform that matches you, a beginning teacher, with experienced teachers so that you can ask questions and get advice. You are matched based on the relevance of your mutual interests and expertise. You are able to ask questions and then look through a selection of experienced teacher who may be able to help you. Once matches are found, you can select one or more ‘Advisers’. You’ll receive an email to organise a mutually suitable time to engage in a real time chat, within MTA, to discuss your question(s).

About
Context of use

MTA is provided free for use and relies upon the voluntary commitment of experienced teachers like you, many of whom are Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers, Assistant Principals, Principals and leaders in their teaching areas.

This contribution is not designed to add to your workload, and you are free to give your time to advice as you are able. You are able to go ‘on breaks’ so you do not receive requests at any time.

My Teaching Advice:

invites you to respond to questions – about knowledge, personal and interpersonal, practice and pedagogy and process – from beginning teachers, with your geographic context, school/setting and phase of schooling in mind
provides anonymous contact between you and beginning teacher to arrange for a chat in real time
provides the real time chat interface for your discussion
gives you feedback regarding the advice you have provided

MTA is designed for point-of-need assistance and advice. It does not replace ongoing mentoring, or support. MTA is not intended to replace the formal and informal supports provided to beginning teachers through their schools, systems, and colleagues. MTA offers support to beginning teachers in situations where access to supports may be limited. For example:

casual relief/replacement teachers
teachers in rural and remote areas
early childhood teachers.
