Teacher education

The Teacher Registration Board has a statutory responsibility under the Teacher Registration (Northern Territory) Act 2004 to ensure that only persons who are fit and proper, and who are appropriately qualified, are employed as teachers in the Northern Territory.

The Act makes provision for the Board to fulfil this responsibility in a number of ways, including through involvement in preservice teacher education. The Act requires the Board to liaise with institutions providing teacher education courses in relation to standards, to assess the relevance of courses to the teaching profession in the Territory and to make recommendations to the Minister for Employment, Education and Training in relation to the minimum qualifications and other requirements for registration.

Comments on the following draft which guide this Board’s process are welcome.
