The teaching profession is always evolving. So too are the needs of teachers, leaders, and the children and young people that you support.

An important role that AITSL plays is providing key decision makers – including senior leaders in systems and sectors, and all Ministers for Education – with key information about you and your work.

In the latest edition of AITSL Mail, Shane Fagg, Year 5–6 Teacher at Wondall Heights State School, highlights how you can have your voice heard. We also provide an example of how the data gets used, with an interesting data snapshot about early career teachers.

Speaking of early career teachers, a reminder to listen in to my catch up with Rachael Miller, a first-year teacher from Charleville, Queensland. I found Rachael’s reflections about the supports that had made a positive difference to her as she started out so insightful, and I am sure you will too.

There's also a buzz at AITSL as we prepare for World Teachers’ Day. We are proud to be entrusted with taking the lead on a day that recognises the care and impact you bring to your work. Take a look at our new theme, 'Shine a light on teachers', which was voted for by you!

As always, we love to hear from you about what else you'd like to see more (or less!) of, so stay in touch!
