​Matching to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers by AITSL

When you complete any professional learning to maintain your teaching accreditation, you have to record it with your state educational body and match the content against the national teaching standards by AITSL. As a rule, if a provider claims their course covers set standards, the course must focus at least 40 minutes of total course time to that focus. As we know with teaching and learning, more than one concept can be learnt at a time. So we have broken down our codes into two categories, major and minor.
Major, are standard descriptors we want to ensure underpin our course focus points, and we guarantee at least 1 hour of total course time is dedicated to covering these focus descriptors.
Minor, are standard descriptors we also firmly believe we cover through our course content and delivery, based on approximately 40 minutes of dedicated course time. However, they are covered through content delivery of the main focal standards. 
​
