The Teaching Excellence Program (TEP) Applications open now

Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership

The Teaching Excellence Program (TEP) is a year-long professional learning program for highly skilled teachers, supporting and challenging them to become even better teachers. 

Through the program, teachers analyse their teaching practice to deepen pedagogical content knowledge in their chosen discipline, and across the key discipline areas. They access contemporary, evidence-informed research and apply this learning to their students’ learning needs through a practitioner inquiry approach. The Academy’s TEP teachers will expand their knowledge, capability and confidence to teach even more effectively in their context.

The TEP is open to highly skilled teachers with a minimum of 3 years’ teaching experience from the government, Independent and Catholic sectors, and across all classroom settings.

Supported by a team of Master Teachers-in-Residence, the TEP teachers engage with national and international expert educators in a diverse range of learning events and activities, including Discipline Days, Teaching Excellence Learning Community (TELC) Days, conferences and practitioner inquiry.
