The Quality Initial Teacher Education Review (the Review), launched in April 2021, has now concluded, announced the DESE on 22 September 2022. The final report, Next Steps: Report of the Quality Initial Teacher Education Review, is now available.
The Review looked at:
- attracting and selecting high-quality candidates into the teaching profession
- preparing initial teacher education (ITE) students to be effective teachers
The Expert Panel that conducted the Review undertook extensive consultation with education stakeholders through meetings, surveys, focus groups, webinars, a workshop and a written submission process.
The final report provides a wide-ranging examination of the issues facing ITE and makes recommendations across three key areas:
- Attracting high-quality, diverse candidates into initial teacher education.
- Ensuring their preparation is evidence-based and practical.
- Supporting early years teachers.
