AITSL+National+Standards+for+Teachers

The second online forum for 2012 focused on how teacher librarians can demonstrate that they are meeting the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) //National Professional Standards for Teachers//. Each weekday, for the duration of the online forum, we focused on a standard (specifically a sub-standard) covering the career stages of proficient, highly accomplished and lead teacher librarians. Participants were invited to share ideas and examples of their practice that exemplify the //National Professional Standards for Teachers// in our wiki discussion. Thank you to everyone who chose to participate in the forum. A reminder that contributing a comment may count towards your PD hours.

The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) has created the //National Professional Standards for Teachers// and devised a project called “Illustrations of Practice” which demonstrate a range of teacher practices across the different career stages (graduate, proficient, highly accomplished and lead). The illustrations have been set in a variety of contexts to help teachers evaluate their own practices in order to meet the //National Professional Standards for Teachers//.

If you would like further information about the “Illustrations of Practice” project, please refer to the AITSL website [] and watch the following video: media type="youtube" key="dwwwE5PsxNs" height="315" width="560"
