HALTs across the country - Rising Above the Challenge

Over 400 people attended the 7th Highly Accomplished and Lead teacher (HALT) Summit in Melbourne, making it the biggest Summit yet.

Almost one quarter of Australia’s HALTs, as well as aspiring HALTs, school leaders, and senior representatives from systems, sectors and regulatory authorities came together both in person and online to learn, network and celebrate the achievement of certified teachers.

Dr Deborah Netolicky, Principal of Walford Anglican School for Girls, presented a keynote on how teachers can drive bottom-up change through leadership that leverages their influence within their community.

Participants also heard from leaders and innovators in the education space, including:

Chris Munro & Dan Steele, Growth Coaching International
Dr Tom Brunzell, Berry Street Education Model
Dr Kylie Lipscombe, University of Wollongong
Dr Deborah Netolicky, Walford Anglican School for Girls
Emeritus Laureate Professor John Hattie
Nathaniel Tamwoy
Andrew Cornwall (Highly Accomplished teacher) & Tamara Powell (Aspiring HALT)
Angela Phillips, Lead teacher
Vanessa Duschka, Highly Accomplished teacher
Kelly Green, Lead teacher

All 1,211 HALTs across Australia are rising above the challenge for the benefit of Australian students and the teaching profession. More certified teachers are needed to bolster the status and quality of the teaching profession.
