Building a national picture of the Australian teaching experience Introducing the Australian Teacher Workforce Data strategy (ATWD)
 
 
Teachers are the number one influence on child and student learning so understanding the profession is crucial for supporting all teachers to maximise their impact. The TRB is committed to quality teaching. That’s why we’re participating in the Australian Teacher Workforce Data Strategy (ATWD). The ATWD will provide a national view of the Australian teaching workforce. 
 
While we have a strong understanding of teachers’ experiences and needs in South Australia, the education community needs a complete picture of teaching in Australia.
From 2018, teacher registration data will be part of the ATWD. For the first time ever in Australia the ATWD will gain a big picture perspective of the national teacher workforce – informing and helping decision-makers to create policies that will strengthen the profession. Find out more here
