Feeling like the Teacher Standards are written in another language?
 Don’t worry—you’re not alone! This webinar is here to break them down, simplify the jargon, and show you how they fit into your journey as a Provisionally Certificated Teacher (PCT).

Presented By

Barbara Watson (PhD)

Webinar Duration

Approximately 45 minutes

Skill Level

Suitable for Beginner PCTs

What will you learn?

We’ll explore what the standards really mean in practice, how to confidently evidence your progress, and what mentors need to know to effectively guide PCTs through the process.

Whether you’re a PCT trying to figure out how to tick all the boxes or a mentor wondering how to support without doing it all for them (we see you!), this session is for you. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a snack—let’s make sense of the standards together!

I love the way the standards were described as having two parts, the actions and the outcomes. This is such a simple yet clear way of describing them. I also loved Barbara's pyramid story and the construction on each layer building on the next until we get to the top/point, teaching.

I enjoyed the way that Barbara illustrated the way the standards weave together and do jot stand alone. I also enjoyed her outlining of each standard through the recipe metaphor and likened them to learning outcomes.
— ANGIE
Unpacking these as well as you have done Barbara has given me lots of little gems on ways to support beginning mentors with understand the Standards at a deeper level - and how to support PCTs to have a better understanding - the ripple effect. :) 
Loved the pyramid. Will definitely be using that.
