Primary and Secondary Teachers Education

Advisory Board—Teacher Education


The Teacher Education Advisory Board (TEAB) provides advice and information on relevant trends and requirements for primary and secondary teacher education to The University of New England (UNE). This advice strengthens the quality of our offerings in early childhood teacher education programs that are combined with primary, primary teacher education and secondary programs being offered through the University. Furthermore, this panel informs the courses to ensure that they are meeting the relevant needs of the profession and employing bodies. Additionally, the Advisory Board has a role in advising on research needs for the profession, with particular reference to the school community with a focus on quality teaching and learning.
