Tom has been working alongside the professional development steering group of ACE Aotearoa to develop and trial a set of draft teaching standards for the ACE sector. Over the course of 2014 he will be offering a series of workshops assisting groups of providers to consider how best to employ these standards to enhance the quality of their teaching.
At last year’s conference members heard a presentation on the draft teaching standards. At this year’s conference, members will hear how a sample of ACE providers are already addressing issues of teaching quality and how they plan to use the new standards. Those at the workshop will get the opportunity to consider their own efforts to ensure the quality of their teaching and how they might employ the standards to enhance these efforts.
