Impact

The Excellence in Teacher Education reforms in Victoria aim to improve the quality of initial teacher education (ITE), improve the support and development for early career teachers and improve the status of the teaching profession.  

This research project obtained feedback from recent entrants to the profession regarding: their experience of ITE; the extent to which it prepared them for teaching; and the support they have received since joining the profession. It also explored feedback from school leaders and teacher mentors. The 2022 Graduate Teacher Survey builds on previous research undertaken in 2017 and 2019.

Aims + Outcomes

The aims of the research were to: 

  • collect quantitative and qualitative evidence on the quality, experience and perceptions of initial teacher education  
  • inform policy and continuous improvement in initial teacher education. 

This research has provided the Department with a better understanding of the current situation in schools and tertiary institutions across Victoria and has helped to identify areas to improve the quality of preparatory activities and support graduate teachers prior to, and upon entering the workforce. 

Methods

The projects utilised a mixed methods approach with the survey program consisting of a collection of three online surveys – Graduate Teachers (301), Mentors (142) and School Leaders (187) – followed by qualitative in-depth interviews and focus groups with 26 graduate teachers, 20 teacher mentors and 6 school leaders who had completed the survey.
