This report shows the findings of a rapid review of the global literature on immersive simulation for teacher preparation. It finds that immersive and supported digital simulations can create significant positive shifts in trainee teacher skills, knowledge, and self-efficacy.

This paper makes the case that professional development aligned to new standards is key to driving teaching quality at all career stages. The author argues that models of professional learning that more clearly connect research to modelled practices and techniques, with time for practice, have better impacts on student outcomes.

Through three interrelated activities – research, scaling and setting up a sustainable business model, this research set out to comprehensively explore what the ‘Quality Teaching Rounds’ (QTR) approach to teacher professional development could do for schooling in Australia.

This research into the future of teaching has found almost three-quarters of Australian teachers’ surveyed report high levels of satisfaction with their Initial Teacher Education (ITE) program.

In this report, the authors argue that the New Zealand Education and Training Act should be amended to enable more than one professional body for the teaching profession to be established.
