The Discussion Paper identifies three fronts on which the Victorian Government will take action over the next ten years. Action 1: Attract great people into teaching: attract stronger candidates and improve their preparation. Action 2: Create a high performance profession: stimulate a culture of excellence and effective professional development. Action 3: Provide strong direction and support: elevate the role of leadership at school and system levels. As a general observation, each of these areas for action is important. The diagnosis of areas requiring action is accurate. However, the prescription is weak in some areas and needs to be strengthened.
