• #VicPLN Action

  On June 21 2012, the Government released a discussion paper which states its vision for the improvement of the teaching profession. The ‘New Directions for School Leadership and the Teaching Profession,’ aims to stimulate and inform discussion on the future of the teaching profession and school leadership. 

  As a collective of grass roots teachers, who are not currently being asked to participate in educational debates and discussion, we see this as an opportunity to enable teachers’ voice.  

  Teachers: A great, yet untapped, source for policy makers.
