31. Planning for Proficiency


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking all things Proficient Teacher Accreditation. Whether you’re at the beginning of your accreditation journey or mentoring someone through it, this episode has got something for you. Sierra shares a few of her top tips to keep the stress levels low (did someone say proficiency party??) and Grayce shares how she has found the process to be so far.


We unpack the steps involved in NSW with plenty of practical tips, break down how to annotate your evidence, and touch on how the process compares in other Australian states, (spoiler alert, it's not too different).


You’ve got this — and we’re here to cheer you on!
