You are invited to attend the online 2021 National Summit on Teaching Out-of-field (‘TOOF’) online 21-23 October 2021, at which invited presenters will offer views through different lenses on the TOOF phenomenon. TOOF generally refers to when teachers teach subjects or year-levels they are not qualified to teach, and is an integral part of our education communities and systems. The multilayered implications of TOOF are the focus of the National Summit presentations and discussions. Key themes include:
- Data needed to inform policy
- School management & leadership
- Initial teacher education
- Teacher registration and accreditation policies
- Teacher professional learning
We hope that you can join and be part of these conversations with national and international stakeholders, industry partners and colleagues *free of charge*. Intended outcomes of the Summit are clear recommendations for policy, practice and research in relation to these themes.
