A successful program that helps teachers learn from each other about best classroom practices has been expanded thanks to almost $5 million in funding from the Albanese Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Quality Teaching Round program developed by the University of Newcastle will be expanded across the country after starting in NSW and following successful trials in Queensland and Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It involves groups of four teachers observing each other and analysing each other\u2019s teaching practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evidence from the trials has shown that this helps teachers learn from each other and improves outcomes for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An additional 1,600 teachers are set to benefit and from Term 3 more early career teachers will be able to access the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quality Teaching Rounds is one part of the National Teacher Workforce Action Plan that Education Ministers agreed to last year to address the national issue of teacher workforce shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Education Jason Clare said:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur teachers are experts at what they do \u2013 and who better to learn from than each other. Over a decade of data shows this program works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt supports new and experienced teachers, and the evidence shows it helps improve students\u2019 reading and maths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the past nine years, it\u2019s helped more than 4,700 teachers and benefited at least 785,000 students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Member for Newcastle, Sharon Claydon said:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cQuality Teaching Rounds, co-created by renowned Laureate Professor Jenny Gore and Dr Julie Bowe from the University of Newcastle is revolutionising teacher professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis additional funding from the Albanese Government will ensure more teachers benefit from this ground-breaking program, while also further establishing the University of Newcastle as a leader in education and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is a great outcome for teachers, students and our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A successful program that helps teachers learn from each other about best classroom practices has been expanded thanks to almost $5 million in funding from the Albanese Government.
