Teacher magazine launched Teacher , a new national magazine for the education sector, was launched by ACER on 6 August following ACER's acquisition of Educare in May. Teacher, although Australia's newest professional magazine for teachers and school leaders, has been in the sector for seventeen years, starting life as Educare News . Speaking at the launch, ACER chief executive Professor Geoff Masters said backing by ACER means all state, Catholic and independent schools now have access to a broad-ranging national magazine that addresses their professional needs. "Under the editorship of Steve Holden Educare News was an award-winning magazine, so when we bought it we made sure he came with it. We've since put substantial resources into Teacher to build on the strengths we identified." While ACER has a strong presence in educational publishing, the foray into magazines is something of a new direction. "It's timely that educators have a revitalised and broad media outlet like Teacher that is representative of the variety of interests in the sector and that speaks for everyone," Professor Masters said. "We identified the strength of Educare News in doing that and we saw that made a good fit with ACER's goals, which are to inform teachers about what's happening in their profession, especially in terms of policy and educational research. It's about time we had a major voice in education that really does speak without fear or favour, for all educators." See Teacher for more information. « Back to eNews
