Who’s Responsible for This?  Independent schools can improve performance and avoid crises by focussing on a proactive role for school boards and setting a clear framework in which boards and principals share responsibility for running the school. New Teacher’s Aide Pathway to Help Critical Teacher Shortages  A popular new course looks to provide much needed to support to teachers and lets students work on their teaching qualification while gaining valuable classroom experience.

It has been described as a ‘game changer’ and I have to whole-heartedly agree, as this initiative presents many wonderful opportunities for children, families, and communities. Hopefully, we will see continued investment in early education across the country.
