Proficient Teacher


From 29 November 2022, existing Teacher Accreditation Authorities (TAAs) will cease and NESA will be the sole teacher accreditation decision maker.

All schools will be required to have internal procedures to implement NESA policies for supporting the accreditation of teachers.

AISNSW consultants can continue to act as the Accreditation Supervisor for teachers in independent schools.

This service includes:

  • tailored support for individual teachers to develop practice and finalise their accreditation submission
  • a written report for the Principal to use in making their recommendation to NESA for each teacher.
