Why teachers must maintain their accreditation
The following information is for principals, service directors and employers. It outlines why and how a teacher is required to maintain their Proficient Teacher accreditation.
When a teacher attains Proficient Teacher accreditation, they must maintain their practice at the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (the Standards) at Proficient level to continue teaching in NSW schools or services. Teachers must stay up to date with professional practice by meeting professional development (PD) requirements.
