Hi Leah,

You should post your queries on a forum called Teachers in Oz .... very helpful forum. Someone there should be able to help u

It reads to me that you would be OK with your paid work after ITE rather than having to wait until after the degree. Early Childhood teaching is very different to my P-12 course and has gone through some changes here in Victoria so I suggest that you ask for further clarification. I had an issue with my qualifications and was lucky enough to be able to retake a diploma of education while we were here.

Good luck.

Nicky

sent u a PM ... do reply ...

I'm a secondary teacher (English, Drama) in North East Victoria. Happy to help with info/ advice if I can.

Hi Powells,

I posted my query .... copy pasting again ... any help would be great

AITSL assessment is in process and was just wondering if someone could help me out with some info .... if they know or hv been in a similar situation .... I have all the requirements for AITSL but what am afraid of, is I may not make the required 60 poiints for immi .... I finished my ITE in 2002 which is a 2 year teacher training course in Early childhood .... been working for a renowned skool since 2008 but only finished my degree in August 2014. (AITSL says early childhood ITE can either be post graduate or undergrad) would they look at my work experience after my ITE or would they only consider the work done after I finished the full qualification required by them. On the AITSL website they say only work paid employment after the ITE wld be considered ... nowhere have they specified "work experience after the full education requirement of AITSl" its a bit tricky ... and that literally has me on pins and needles.

Hi Nicole, it took 13 weeks from them saying they had received it to me getting my positive assessment, it was a long wait! It sounds like you have sent lots of evidence which is great so good luck in getting a positive answer, I hope you don't have to wait as long as I did! There is a thread for teachers in the jobs and careers section called 'teachers in Oz' I've found it really helpful so I'd recommend that you check it out :-)

 

Hi Selena.... thanx for the quick reply :wink: Did they take 13 weeks because they asked you for additional documents or was it just a delay from their side? Thanx for the info on the group ... I thot I saw it before but not yet in Oz so dint join. I wish u luck ... xxx

Hi Selena,

I see u got ur skills assessed as an early childhood teacher .... I too hv applied for the same (they received my application on the 10th of August and I gt a confirmation email from them on 17th) I keep checking the application status, which is showing ässessment in progress" since last Tuesday. How long did it take for you to receive yours back from them? I am really hopeful but at the same time really scared. I have done a 3 year bachelors degree and a 2 year teacher training certificate which includes 60 days supervised teaching practice. Getting the IELTS score was a big hurdle as the aitsl requirement is quite high for teachers. :cry: I submitted a copy of all attested docs they require... transcripts of degree and ITE, syllabus covered, a letter from the HOD of the education dept of the college regarding the supervised Teaching practice ( as that wasn't specified in my final transcript) and also a letter from my employer stating that i hv been teaching here since 2008.
