Somewhat disagree

Would you like to provide feedback about these actions?

Teachers who have recently retired or resigned due to an untenable position should be able to apply for a permanent position or have full approval to teach not just casual approval. Currently waiting for full approval even though I work on a temporary contract . Apparently we are not what the DET wants even though there are quite a few of us around. I have to start from scratch even though I have over 20 years of experience. Waste of time and bureaucratic nonsense .

Maximising the time to teach

The actions proposed will improve retention and free up teachers to focus on teaching and collaboration.

Neither agree nor disagree

Better understanding future teacher workforce needs
