welcomed an exceptional number of new schools this month, and we are cognisant of some significant drivers that are contributing to the surge in membership. These include: rising anticipation around the future availability of a set of professional standards for education support staff which will support performance and professional growth planning, the recent inclusion of professional development requirements for TAs in certified agreements in a number of jurisdictions, and the increasingly widespread acknowledgement by school leaders of just how important the professional growth of education support staff is to achieving high performing teaching teams and successful student outcomes. </span> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> <span style="font-size:14px;">Last week, as one of the final stages of development, we commenced a number of pilot programs in schools to test the relevance and usefulness of the Australian Teaching Assistant Professional Standards (ATAPS).
