Modern Language Teachers' Association of the ACT: Promoting language learning by providing a voice for language teachers and facilitating professional dialogue.
How do we know what our members professional learning needs are? Surveys, feedback after PL and conferences, discussions with state/territory Presidents, collaborating with the profession, engagement with state/territory/federal government/jurisdiction teams. @AAAECollaborate
How do we support early childhood educators, causal/relief and rural/remote educators to connect with mentor? AITSL updating My Induction mobile app to try to address this - ongoing relationships and supporting mentors with their practice. @AAAECollaborate
New work for AITSL currently being scoped out how to build cultural competency of Australian teachers. AFMLTA and Languages teachers have lots to contribute in this space! @AAAECollaborate@aitsl
What do you know as a teacher about understanding your impact on your students’ learning? Do you include student voice and empowerment in gauging impact? @AAAECollaborate@aitsl
What enables growth and what blocks it in student growth and learning? Once blockers are identified, what’s next in attending to them? @AAAECollaborate@aitsl
Formative assessment (where to go next with learning) - Proof of concept proposal, project management board set up, with reports back to AESOC. AITSL looking at e-asTTle from NZ https://t.co/REgAqdvsJB @AAAECollaborate@aitsl
3 focus areas emphasise that leaders should prioritise learning in their role; develop a depth of understanding of teacher needs at different stages of their careers; developing regional/remote leaders. @AAAECollaborate@aitsl
