ACER UPDATE
National Awards for Quality Schooling
ACER and the Australian College of Educators will jointly manage the National Awards for Quality Schooling (NAQS) again in 2004. The project is conducted on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). ACER has responsibility for all stages of the assessment process. ACER staff will develop the judging strategy for the awards; the criteria applied to short-listing candidates and train the judges.
Professional Standards in Science
ACER has been asked by the Catholic Education Office in Melbourne to provide a PD program for aspiring leaders in science. ACER will conduct in-school programs for three or more teachers from a single school and 'cluster' programs for individual teachers. The PD program will run in Terms 1 and 2 this year, and teachers will develop a professional portfolio of work in such areas as scientific literacy, pedagogy in teaching and learning, and professional standards.
