Early Career Teacher Course

Just a very quick reminder that AISWA offers an Early Career Teacher course for any graduate teachers or those in their first years of their teaching career. Please click on the link https://www.ais.wa.edu.au/event/2022-graduate-proficient to enrol.  

Extra information

The G2P course is designed to meet the needs of Early Career teachers (ECT's) as they work towards the Proficient career level of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, and full registration - from Graduate to Proficient.  We assist them to develop a sense of agency, identity and purpose as their capacity grows through an in-depth exploration of the common issues and problems of practice for the beginning teacher.

 

This is a five day course and attendance is expected. Three of these days occur during term time and the other two are held during the school holidays. Over the 5 days we cover: 

  • Personal resilience and wellbeing
  • Working with your mentor
  • Developing a growth mindset 
  • The First 6 weeks of school - establishing a positive classroom culture
  • How to talk to parents 
  • Writing reports and conducting 3 way interviews
  • Building your professional identity and mindset
  • Student Engagement
  • What Principals, parents and students wish you knew
  • Portfolio development Graduate to Proficient
  • Small group and individual coaching sessions

Each graduate will need a school based mentor.  Mentor training is available. Mentors can register for Mentor training via the AISWA website Mentoring Early Career Teachers.
