What was the budgeted value of this program in 2014-15, and across the forwards? 7. When does the funding for this program cease? Have any teachers of schools that were awarded a scholarship had that award withdrawn as a result of these cuts? 8. Has the funding being redirected? If so, where? 9. Was an evaluation of the program conducted before funding was ceased? What did it find? 10. If not – Why not? What was the basis of this cut? 11. Will the ending of this program have a positive or negative impact on the capacity of language teachers? 12. When was the decision made to cease funding for the Endeavour Language Teacher Fellowships? 13. Who made the decision? Was it the Minister? 14. Have there been any representations made to the Government about the cessation of funding? How many have been supportive? Answer The Endeavour Language Teacher Fellowships (ELTF) programme was established in 2004. The selection process for the ELTF, including assessment of applications, was managed through a contracted service provider in consultation with the state and territory language education coordinators and a Project Advisory Committee. Practising teachers were initially assessed by a state and territory based selection panel, chaired and organised by the relevant education department. The selection panels included representatives from the government, Catholic and Independent school sectors. The panels were required to use selection packs developed by the service provider in consultation with the department. The selection of pre-service teachers was done by the contracted service provider based on recommendations submitted by state and territory departments of education. A total of 1966 teachers, comprising 1677 practising teachers and 289 pre-service teachers, have participated in this programme since 2004. Since 2007, teachers from over 1200 schools have participated. In 2015, a total of 70 teachers participated, out of which 60 were practising teachers and 10 were pre-service teachers. The pool of language teachers who can be offered this programme for the first time is diminishing. The overall responsibility of professional development of teachers lies with individual jurisdictions. Attachment A provides information on participation by year. A list of participating schools by state and territory from 2007–2015 is at Attachment B. Data before 2007 are not available. The number of teachers may not exactly match the number of schools because some schools may have more than one teacher participating in a given year and some teachers teach at more than one school. The ELTF budget was $1.2 million for 2014–15 and $1.8 million for 2015–16. Funding of $1.8 million per annum was allocated for 2016–17 and 2017–18 in the forward estimates. The redesign of the programme and redirection of funding was announced in the 2015–16 Budget. The current programme is being redesigned with effect from 1 July 2015. The application process for the 2016 programme had not yet commenced. The cessation of the ELTF programme is a result of a refocus of the Australian Government’s priorities in the education portfolio. The Government is providing funds to implement the Government’s response to the Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group (TEMAG) report, Action Now: Classroom Ready Teachers, which is aimed at improving teacher quality and delivering better educational outcomes for all Australian students. Implementation of TEMAG recommendations will ensure primary school teachers will have a speciality in maths, science or a foreign language thereby supporting improved languages teaching. The ELTF programme service provider conducted a participant survey each year after the completion of the programme. Participants have reported an increase in their language capacity as well as confidence to try new teaching approaches in the classrooms. Participants also placed a high value on the teacher support networks established during the programme. The department has received 33 representations expressing concern about the cessation of ELTF funding.

  • 2017 MANSW Annual Conference
    2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.
