INSTITUTE OF TEACHERS ACT 2004 - NOTES

- As at 21 July 2009 - Act 65 of 2004

Note to Division 3

New scheme teachers will need to be provisionally or conditionally accredited under this Division before they may be employed to teach.
Provisional accreditation will be available to a new scheme teacher who has met the requirements specified in the professional teaching standards for accreditation at that level (in most cases this means that the person holds full teaching qualifications) or if the person has completed a teacher education course approved by the Minister. The person will be required to obtain accreditation at professional competence level within 3 years after being provisionally accredited.
Conditional accreditation will be available to a new scheme teacher who has a degree in a relevant area or has completed a substantial part of a teacher education course approved by the Minister. Such a person will, however, be required to undertake professional development or further teacher education and will have 4 years to obtain accreditation at professional competence level.
The time for obtaining accreditation at professional competence level will vary in the case of new scheme teachers who are employed on a casual or part-time basis.
