21 School-based accreditation scheme

(1) The teacher accreditation authority for a school may, in accordance with this Part:

(a) accredit any person who is employed to teach in the school (including any person who has applied for a position as a teacher in the school), and

(b) revoke the accreditation (including the accreditation by another teacher accreditation authority) of any person:

(i) who is employed to teach in the school, or

(ii) who was previously employed to teach in the school (but who is no longer employed to teach in that or any other school).

(2) If a person is accredited under this Part, the person’s accreditation has effect in relation to any school, but is subject to revocation by a teacher accreditation authority.

(3) The accreditation of a person under this Part is not restricted to accreditation in relation to a specific area of study or expertise. Accordingly, a person’s accreditation does not, in itself, limit the areas of study in which the person teaches.
