What does our certification for Associated Teachers mean?

Level 1 - has demonstrated a grasp of the basic principles, procedures and questioning strategies during an enquiry.

Level 2 - has demonstrated an ability to use the basic principles, procedures and questioning strategies and can follow and deepen the children’s conceptual understanding.

Level 3 - can integrate the questioning / enquiry skills and strategies into their curriculum teaching. These teachers can also support other teachers, and develop their own lesson plans.

Level 4 - these teachers make use of key facilitation skills to help teach critical thinking alongside running enquiries.

Certification is only kept for a year, and on-going observation and professional development is needed to retain Associated Teacher status.
