  5. Framing the project • A framework is needed for VET teacher training & CPD to reflect diversity – unitary approach to training & quality won’t succeed • Framework must enhance teachers’ professionalism, identity as teachers, & industry/disciplinary specialists, & support career transitions • Must provide measures to support CPD, & include principles or standards for teachers & teacher training programs • Must leverage existing work being done on this topic, & on institutional capacity & management capability in VET • Recommendations must be affordable, have broad stakeholder support, & support achievement of government participation objectives • Address future workforce requirements • This framework means our approach must be consultative & aim to build consensus 5

  6. Your input welcome! • Questions for qualifications workshop a good start – may not be exactly the questions we ask in the project, but these are questions that the union thinks important, & it would be helpful to know your views • Contact details: • Email: leesaw@unimelb.edu.au
