Registered+Teacher+Criteria

From Team Solutions (Auckland University) Advisors
As you know the Satisfactory Teacher dimensions are being replaced by the Registered Teacher criteria next year. This means that ALL TEACHERS, not just Provisionally Registered Teachers, will be assessed against the RTC when their registration expires, from Next year. There have been some other changes too, namely Supervising Teachers are now referred to as Mentor Teachers and the Advice and Guidance Programme is now called an Induction and mentoring Programme. This is not just renaming, but rather a semantic difference between advising / supervising and mentoring ie working with or alongside a teacher rather than exercising power over a provisionally registered teacher. "Oh we would never do that!" I hear you say. In my experience working with PRTs in Auckland and Northland, there are numbers of PRTs who are too afraid to ask for help or who feel they are being a nuisance for asking questions. Below are 2 powerpoints that I have put together with new material from the upgraded Teachers Council website [] [|PRT.ppt] [|Mentoring PRTs.ppt]

The matrix showing how the Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions sit alongside the Registered Teacher Criteria.
====If you are being assessed for registration against the Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions and want a greater understanding of what is required, look across to the aligned Registered Teacher Criteria. This will provide you with more detail, will be easier to understand and will connect closely with your actual practice. Also on this matrix are the Professional Standards. They come from the Ministry of Education and the unions. They are used for 'attestation' - salary increase.==== Remember: the Registered Teacher Criteria are on their way in. The Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions are on their way out. Both sit with the Teachers Council for the purpose of Registration.
