Classroom ready: Demonstrating the impact on student learning of initial teacher education programs - Position paper

This paper stimulated discussion on how teacher education programs in Australia demonstrate their impact on school student learning. Evidence of impact is central to the approach to accreditation outlined in the Action Now: Classroom Ready Teachers (Action Now) report, and the Australian Government’s response to it. The response highlights that better quality assurance of teacher education programs is essential to ensure every program is preparing classroom ready teachers with the skills they need to make a positive impact on school student learning.
