Step Up recently invited a highly acclaimed panel of teachers together to answer questions and provide advice for graduating Queensland pre-service teachers. The panel included a first-year teacher, mid and senior career teachers and a school principal. The panel members provided the audience with an excellent insight into how to transition successfully into the classroom and beyond, with each offering a unique perspective based on their current role in the school community. Students who attended have described this event as being “hugely beneficial” and “a great networking opportunity”.

One attendee tweeted:

“I came to the two events scared [PST Forum + STAQ Senior Science Conference] and uncertain about the switch to teaching; now I say “bring it on”. Thank you @StepUp_QLD @staqtweets”.

A video recording of the Pre-Service Teacher Panel Forum discussion that was held last week at QUT is now available for viewing.
