Statement of Expectation for teachers

The expectation is that teachers will:

• contribute to the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) as appropriate to their role and settings, including the implementation of the revised Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0)
• act with integrity and in accordance with the department’s values.

At the start of the cycle

Teachers indicate to their principal or reviewer whether they will undertake the 2025 SoE or the standard PDP process, at any time prior to 30 April 2025.

Teachers discuss with their principal or reviewer how they will contribute to the implementation of their school’s AIP together with their professional development/career goals and aspirations.

Throughout the year

Teachers and their principal or reviewer meet regularly throughout the year. Where there is a concern that a teacher is not making an appropriate contribution to meet the SoE, this concern should be raised with the teacher by the principal or reviewer in writing at the time the concern becomes apparent, and provided in writing along with proposed improvement supports.

At the end of the cycle

At the end of semester 2, teachers, with their principal or reviewer, will reflect on and be acknowledged for their learning, growth and contribution to the AIP. It is assumed that teachers who opt-in to this process will meet the SoE, in which case no action is required in eduPay.
