ITE Data Report 2013

About

This report provides a collation of data on initial teacher education that is publicly available or available on request as customised data. Such data currently reside in a range of databases and documents across a number of organisations. This report seeks to bring together these data into one location so as to provide readers with a clearer picture of the initial teacher education landscape. It will also contribute to the evidence base of information relating to initial teacher education, building a dataset that, over time, will provide a key starting point for consideration of the context and outcomes of initial teacher education. 

The report presents initial teacher education data at key intersections in the journey to becoming a teacher, including entry to initial teacher education, completion of initial teacher education, satisfaction with initial teacher education programs and employment after graduation. 

This report is the first of what will be an annual report produced by AITSL on initial teacher education. It is intended that over time the categories of data reported will be extended, and users are encouraged to provide suggestions about data that would prove useful to the education community. A major focus of future work in this area will be to provide better data on the quality and outcomes of initial teacher education.
