The NSW Institute released its Policy for the Maintenance of Accreditation at Professional Accomplishment and Professional Leadership early in 2011.The ISTAA Council has endorsed the Maintenance of Accreditation requirements for NSW teachers who are accredited at Professional Excellence. To access these requirements click on the link below. These requirements have been included in the NSW Information Brochure for Professional Excellence.

The maintenance requirements for NSW Preschool teachers will be released soon. The maintenance requirements for ACT teachers and pre-school teachers accredited at Highly Proficient Teacher remain unchanged.

Applications are sought from highly experienced teachers  who would like to be a member of a review and assessment panel for teachers who apply for accreditation at Professional Accomplishment, Professional Leadership and Professional Excellence. The application form is located on the right hand side of the page. Panels are formed when applicants submit their evidence for review and assessment to the AIS TAA. Panels are held in school holiday periods between term one and two and between terms three and four. Teachers are selected so their expertise matches that of the applicants. The AIS is creating a data base of suitable teachers from which panel members can be drawn. Teachers required for a panel will be notified three months in advance. Panels are held in the AIS Conference Centre and training is provided.
