Connecting early career teachers, collectively improving practice, and supporting progress towards full VIT registration.
The Graduate Teacher Network is an opportunity for early career teachers to connect with each other, work collaboratively to solve puzzles of practice, and to support each other not only towards full registration with the VIT, but also to develop their skills and understanding in their chosen career. Topics for discussion are determined by the group and readily respond to participants' needs. Currently, meetings run via Webex.
