Teaching standards

How do we maintain consistency in practice across this vast country.  It's becoming more difficult each year to attend professional learning activities face to face, so there becomes a greater reliance on online opportunities.  These are actually my preferred option because I can engage with the learninng from the comfort of my own surroundings at a time and place that is agreeable.
There's a wealth of online opportunities to ensure that you remain current and at the cutting edge of developments in our line of work.
Recently I participated in some great PD around how we support and mentor beginning teachers as they transition to full registration.  This PD gave me the opportunity to explore in depth the resources offered by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership.  AITSL. 

The AITSL website is a treasure trove of resources and tools that can go a long way to helping any self starting teacher.  Regular readings are suggested, there's video snippets to support good prcatice and much more.

The web site is the one stop for a variety of professional resources. http://www.aitsl.edu.au/
