The Victorian government is investing $148.2 million to establish a multi-site academy that will aim to develop high-quality teachers and foster a pipeline of emerging leaders.
The Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership, a statutory authority, will raise the bar on teacher quality in the state, according to acting premier and education minister James Merlino.
“The new Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership will develop our teachers, giving the very latest in understanding and skills, and enabling them to share that with their colleagues and school communities,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.
