Charter for the Australian Teaching Profession

The Charter has been developed over a two year period. Teachers and principals support it strongly as a statement highlighting their commitment to the profession and the community.
“The Charter has been developed by the profession for the profession,” said Gregor Ramsey. “It is a significant step in raising teachers’ professional status in the community.”
The Charter is a stand alone document and a foundation for national professional standards, currently being developed by the profession together with Teaching Australia, detailing the knowledge and skills of teachers and principals.
