Research-driven teaching requires investment beyond initial teacher education

Press/Media: Article/Feature

Description

Following the release of the Federal Government’s report into initial teacher education in Australia handed in February, it’s no surprise to many of us that one of the key recommendations is to ensure that our teachers are better prepared using evidence-based practices before they step into the classroom. But this is only half the picture. As a nation, we must foster a culture where teachers are empowered to share their knowledge and apply research in their practice. We should all be striving for gold-standard education, but this requires investment beyond initial teacher education.
