A question before Fridays meeting.

What’s something that you wish the community knew about teaching?

So proud to be able to announce that I was successful in being re-elected to the QCT Board (pending the final approvals process).

Thank you to everyone who voted for me, I promise to continue giving you a voice.

Board Election Outcome 2021 The 2021 election of practising teachers for the QCT Board concluded this month (June) and we are pleased to announce the outcome. The election was for three practising teachers – two from State schools and one from non-State schools – to serve on the QCT’s governing Board for its next three-y...

Let’s encourage others to make a difference and teach. Than you Terry for your dedication.

So I don’t read the Courier Mail but this was shared with me today.

Interestingly at the Board meeting yesterday we spoke about this and at least in Qld the completion rates are about the same as other programs. Attrition rates do go down after the first prac, which we all know is a result of people entering a placement and realising that teachings not for them… something we actually want to happen.

It’s worth noting that the review not only hasn’t finished but a consultation paper hasn’t even been released. It’s also interesting that no teacher registrating authority was asked for comment. Let’s not let facts and reality get in the way of a sensationalist headline though! 😒

While we wait for the official results you might want to consider nominating an inspirational teacher for the TeachX awards. This will be my 4th year reading nominations and it’s always a difficult decision. Show a teacher that you see them and the tireless work that they do by nominating them for an award.

Voting closes tomorrow! I’m doing a final push to remind every registered teacher that it’s not too late to vote. Search your emails for GoVote and follow the link. Thank you to the amazing people who have voted for me!

The countdown to the close of voting is on now. Make sure you have your say before the ballot closes on 11 June. It's be great if you could tick the box next to Natalie Montague-Clarke. Every vote counts!

Thirty-seven teachers have nominated to represent Queensland teachers – and play an important role in shaping policy and standards in the teaching profession – on the QCT Board. Queensland teachers, check your GoVote email to vote now.

Thank you to all the people who have already let me know that they voted and are supporting me, I really appreciate it.

It’s an awkward position now, just waiting... until 11 June when voting closes. Until then it’s be great if you let your colleagues know who you voted for and why.

Every vote counts!

Voting is now open for three practising teachers to serve on the QCT Board. All Queensland registered teachers have been sent an email from GoVote on how to vote. Good luck to the 37 teachers who have nominated!
