Connecting new educators: a strategy for empowerment 

- Kay Schlesinger, 2023 -

What the research had to say....

Overview

The VET sector is getting older, so helping new teachers is not only a smart idea but also a safe one. To put it simply, we will not have enough teachers in the future if we do not support them in their first years.

Most new teachers in the VET sector have their Certificate IV Training and Assessment. In the two Delivery Units of the course, this qualification covers some basic teaching skills. However, for most new teachers, this is the only experience they will have with choosing and using teaching methods.

If Australia is to meet the growing demand for skilling the nation, it is critical that we have better ways to give new teachers the tools they need to make sure they feel connected in their RTOs, feel confident in their teaching practice, and want to stay in their educational settings. 

Join International Specialised Skills Institute Fellow and author of the most recent research on the topic, Kay Schlesinger for this brief information session that will unpack her journey to this point, the findings of her reasearch, and the link to our new Master Mentoring program: Community Of New Educators (CONE).
