EXPERT TEACHER FRAMEWORK
Every teacher in Australia is certified by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) as either a Graduate, Proficient, Highly accomplished or as a Lead Teacher. In Queensland, there are currently 8 Lead Teachers, and 287 throughout Australia.
AT Thangool SS, we have two AITSL nationally certified Lead Teachers: Mrs Fiona Byrne (Principal) and Mrs Ellen Brewer (Head of Curriculum/Preparatory Teacher).
All staff at Thangool participate in regular professional learning activities. This ensures that we continue to improve our knowledge and skills to provide the best educational outcomes for our students.
Our school has also been recognised by AITSL as demonstrating high quality teaching practices. We work closely with our Regional Office and have also been invited by the Grattan Institute to participate in research that will shape future educational policy across Queensland and Australia.
