Registration and certification policy
What is the policy?
As a tumuaki, principal, or leader, you provide support for your teachers to uphold the code and standards of the teaching profession.
The Requirements for Teacher Registration, Practising Certificates and Limited Authority to Teach Policy (Registration Policy) supports quality teaching, learning and leadership.
The Registration and Certification policy recognises the expertise of professional leaders to be responsible when making judgements about individual teacher applications for practising certificates, while at the same time preserves the reputation of the profession and focuses on building capacity.
