In celebration of World Teachers’ Day 2024, Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) CEO Tim Bullard shares a a heartfelt video message recognising the vital role of teachers in shaping the future of education in Australia. Held on 25 October 2024, World Teachers’ Day is an opportunity to thank educators for their dedication to empowering learners across Australia.

I want to take a moment to say hats off to teachers and celebrate the incredible work that our teachers do right across Australia.

As someone who spent quite some time working in education, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of great teaching.

Every lesson, every interaction, every encouragement, all of these moments add up to shape the future of our country.

Teachers, we see you guiding our youngest learners in early childhood settings, nurturing curious minds in primary school, and preparing our young people for their futures in secondary education.

Your work matters. It ripples through generations and it helps build the Australia that we all want to see.

At AITSL, we’re committed to supporting you in your vital work. We are here to champion excellence in teaching and school leadership and provide those resources and frameworks that are going to help you to thrive in your career.

Warm regards,

Signature of Tim Bullard
