"Qualified and registered teachers have the benefit of a high quality initial teacher education programme, followed by an individualised induction and mentoring (I&M) programme that equips them with the skills to recognise learning, build and nourish it," said Director Dr Peter Lind.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Aiming for High-Quality Services - the ECE Taskforce recommends:
1. "Regulation for a minimum of 80% of all early childhood education staff in teacher-led, centre-based early childhood education services as registered teachers, and that the remaining 20% of staff may include staff in study, or staff with other relevant expertise such as health professionals or staff with fluency in languages other than English."
Our view: This endorses the importance of employing registered teachers to provide the education programme for children in ECE services. The Council unequivocally supports this recommendation.
2. "Establishment of incentives for teacher-led, centre-based services to increase their percentage of teaching staff qualified and registered as early childhood education teachers up to 100%."
Our view: Funding incentives for teacher-led services is crucial to encourage and support services to be able to employ qualified and registered ECE teachers.
SUPPORTING A QUALIFIED PROFESSION
The Council supports your membership of the profession through your qualifications, registration and the professional learning that is so integral to meeting the Registered Teacher Criteria. We commend you all.
