VIT welcomes new CEO

The VIT Council is very pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Corcoran as our new Chief Executive Officer.

Supporting provisionally registered CRTs

Casual relief or emergency teachers (CRTs) undertake approximately 10-15% of a learner’s education. Many of Victoria’s beginning teachers are working as CRTs; this can limit their opportunities to undertake an inquiry into their practice in order to move to (full) registration.

Australia Day Honours 2018

Congratulations to our teachers who were awarded with Australia Day Honours. You are an inspiration for your leaders.

It is wonderful to see registered teachers being recognised by one of Australia’s most prestigious awards, and it shows how much the community recognises the importance of and respects those working in the education sector.

Applications approved for majority of graduates

We look forward to having all graduate teachers registered for the start of the school year. We are currently processing all the information supplied by education providers including the new Literacy and Numeracy Test results.

Initial teacher education update

National and State reforms in teacher education have strengthened entry standards into initial teacher education programs. This means that students seeking entry into courses that qualify them to teach will need to meet academic standards and demonstrate they possess personal attributes that fit them for teaching.

Join your local CRT network

CRT networks provide an opportunity for CRTs (casual relief, emergency, relieving and relief teachers) to connect with a supportive and like-minded group of colleagues.

Important information for teachers with a registration number beginning with a ‘6’

If you’re a provisionally registered teacher with a registration number beginning with a ‘6’ and you have completed at least 80 days of teaching, we have sent you an email regarding your application for (full) registration.

Happy World Teachers' Day 2017

"Let’s appreciate and recognise the important work our Victorian teachers are undertaking today, and let’s thank them for every day they open up the world a little bit more for their learners." 

Lesley Lamb, Chairperson of the VIT Council and Fran Cosgrove, acting CEO, thank teachers on World Teachers' Day.

Entry into teacher education programs

During the next term students will be applying for entry into Victorian initial teacher education programs.

Selection into a program will be based on both academic and non-academic attributes.
