VIT Inquiry Process

The VIT Inquiry process requires Provisionally Registered Teachers (PRT's) to “demonstrate the development of their knowledge and practice, and gather evidence to demonstrate they have met the Australian Professional Standards for Teaching (APST) at the Proficient teacher level.”
(https://www.vit.vic.edu.au/register/categories/provisional/moving-to-full)

Through this process PRT's will:

• Select a group/class of learners, assess their learning and possible affecting factors

• Develop an inquiry question based on identified learning needs
  It is a good idea to chat with your mentor or ASV Induction and Mentoring Officer about your Inquiry question, as it will help clarify the intent of your work and support the improvement of student outcomes

• Undertake professional development in their area of inquiry

• Develop and implement an action plan

• Assess the impact of the inquiry on student learning

• Assess the impact of the inquiry on teacher pedagogy/practice

• Reflect on effectiveness of inquiry and identify future needs and next steps

• Collect and record evidence of all the APST at the proficient teacher level

• Meet all the compulsory requirements of VIT’s Inquiry process

Further information on the APST, the PRT Guide for the VIT Inquiry and links to resources can be found on the VIT website.
