Join VIT at the inaugural Welcome to the Profession Conference
Each year, the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) delivers seminars and events designed to provide information on the requirements teachers must meet to comply with their regulatory obligations.
The VIT Professional Practice team also works with initial teacher education (ITE) providers to ensure readiness for beginning teachers embarking on their teaching career.
An induction for beginning teachers in Victoria
Understanding teacher registration requirements and why teacher registration is important is essential for a beginning teacher in their early career. A thorough induction into the profession is also critical to gain the skills and confidence necessary to deliver quality teaching.
To support the induction process, VIT is delivering a free one-day conference for beginning teachers looking to teach in Victoria.
The inaugural Welcome to the Profession Conference seeks to support beginning teachers to understand the requirements for teacher registration and VIT's role as a regulator and develop their teaching practice using effective classroom management strategies.

Gain effective and practical teaching skills
In a bespoke classroom management workshop delivered by renowned educational consultant Glen Pearsall, participants will learn easy-to-implement classroom management techniques and build their teaching repertoire through the discussion and modelling of effective instructional practices.
Glen works throughout Australia as an educational consultant, specializing in feedback and assessment, workload reduction for teachers, and instructional practice. He has a particular interest in the work of graduate and preservice teachers and has worked as a research fellow and tutorial leader at the Centre for Youth Research, University of Melbourne, Australia.
Invest in your professional development
During the breakout session, participants can engage with employment and professional learning organisations across the Victorian school and early childhood sectors to gain information and resources that support their professional growth. There will also be an opportunity to discuss registration requirements with dedicated VIT representatives.
If you’re a pre-service teacher about to graduate, a provisionally registered teacher (PRT) in the first few years of your career or a PTT holder working towards gaining teacher registration, this conference is a must! Bookings are essential and places are limited.
