The next stage of development is underway for the Middle Leader Professional Standards, with trials having commenced in Queensland schools during Term 4.
IEU-QNT Research Officer Adele Schmidt said the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) had begun a partnership with the Queensland Department of Education to develop and trial professional standards for middle leaders.
“Middle leaders play a pivotal role in leading teaching, learning and student support; however, there is often a lack of clarity or inconsistency regarding their roles, expectations, titles, levels of support and opportunities for career progression,” Dr Schmidt said.
