As teachers you can complete the ATWD Teacher Survey and be part of this national initiative
The ATWD Teacher Survey is the teacher voice in the ATWD. By completing the annual ATWD Teacher Survey, your experiences will be included in the national picture we are building of the teaching profession. The ATWD Teacher Survey will add to the data in the ATWD and provide greater insights into the career pathways and work experiences of teachers across Australia. This includes:
- the trends in relation to out-of-field teaching and teaching loads
- how effective induction and early career support is for new teachers
- the prevalence of contract employment
- the retention rate of teachers in the first five years
- how many teachers plan to stay in teaching, move into leadership or start another career.
Your participation is voluntary; however, your voice is very important. The more teachers we hear from, the more complete the overall national picture will be. The survey takes no longer than 10 minutes to complete.
