Overview
The purpose of Stage 2 is to decide on the Standards, describe the three teaching and learning domains: Professional Knowledge, Professional Practice, and Professional Engagement, and determine the career stages.
The IRG has reached consensus on the following seven Draft Australian Standards for Paraprofessional Educators in Schools:
- Professional Knowledge Standard 1: Know students and how they learn
- Professional Knowledge Standard 2: Know how to support teaching and learning
- Professional Practice Standard 3: Collaborate with teachers to implement effective teaching and learning
- Professional Practice Standard 4: Contribute to, and maintain supportive and safe learning environments
- Professional Practice Standard 5: Contribute to assessment and provide feedback on student learning
- Professional Engagement Standard 6: Engage in professional learning
- Professional Engagement Standard 7: Engage and communicate professionally with colleagues and the school community
The IRG is continuing its work on the Domain Descriptions, and Career Stages. For a comprehensive overview of the progress of the Standards, since November 2021, including videos of live virtual meetings, please read on:
