Supervising professional experience
The Queensland Professional Experience Reporting Framework
The Queensland Professional Experience Reporting Framework has been developed by representatives of:
- the Department of Education
- Independent Schools Queensland
- the Queensland Catholic Education Commission
- the Queensland College of Teachers
- the Queensland Deans of Education Forum
to provide consistency and clarity across state and non-state school sectors by introducing a streamlined and moderated approach to the assessment of professional experience in Queensland.
The QCT has produced a companion document to further support supervising teachers in making evidence-based, consistent decisions and providing constructive feedback about the preservice teachers’ demonstration of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate career stage).
The Framework comprises the following key tools and resources, available from the Department of Education website:
- Queensland Professional Experience Reporting Framework (PDF, 881KB)
- Final professional experience recommendations (PDF, 1.2MB)
- Professional development reflection (PDF, 268KB)
- Professional experience checklists (PDF, 942KB)
- Professional experience glossary of terms (PDF, 886KB)
- Expectations of graduate teachers (PDF, 818KB)
