Early childhood teachers, tell us your story!

Guest article by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL).

Share your unique perspective as an early childhood teacher in the Australian Teacher Workforce Survey. It is the biggest teacher survey in Australia.

Last year we heard from 4,031 early childhood/primary qualified teachers. This year we’d love to hear from more of you. We want to learn about your experiences and the challenges of working in an early childhood setting. This includes your wellbeing, workload, career intentions and more.

The more teachers we hear from, the richer our understanding of the current teaching experience. If you are a director of an early childhood centre, we’d love your help in encouraging all registered teachers to take part.

The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open in most states and territories, with NSW, Tas and Vic coming soon. Look out for an email invitation from your teacher regulatory authority between now and November.
