Description:

Teacher Certification provides a high quality, nationally consistent approach to identifying and certifying teachers in accordance with the advanced career stages of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST).

The AISSA facilitates and supports aspiring Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers (HALTs) to apply for certification through a series of three workshops which are offered each semester These sessions help to build understanding of the requirements of the process and how to collect, curate and annotate evidence of practice at the HA or Lead career stage. Applicants are required to complete all three workshops in sequence within a 12-18 month timeframe.

Teacher Certification:

• recognises and promotes quality teaching
• provides an opportunity for teachers to reflect on their practice and demonstrate their impact
• provides a reliable indication of quality teaching to support growth and recognise high performing teachers.

In conjunction with Catholic Education, the Department for Education and the South Australian Teacher Certification Committee (SATCC) – the SA certifying authority, the AISSA facilitates the assessment process of all HALT applications in SA Independent Schools using nationally trained assessors from our schools.
