Teachers in Australian schools don’t get enough time to prepare well for class, and student performance is suffering as a result.
Teacher workloads have blown out in recent decades, and many teachers are now too stretched to do everything we ask of them.
In this special Grattan Institute/State Library Victoria, Policy Pitch webinar event, our panel will discuss the bold strategies that are needed to tackle these problems. The panel will examine Grattan Institute’s latest report Making time for great teaching, which identifies three reform directions the Government should adopt. Adam Carey, Education Editor at The Age, will be our moderator.
