Casual Appointment Pool
Suitable applicants from recently advertised process DOE724801 need not apply.
The Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia (TRBWA) is seeking to establish a pool of highly motivated, experienced, and collaborative teaching practitioners for casual appointments throughout 2024 to provide professional standards assessments for the purposes of teacher registration.
Casual appointments can range from three-hour engagements to four-week appointments.
In this role, Professional Standards Assessors assess teaching practice against the Professional Standards for Teachers in Western Australia at the Proficient career stage. For teachers to be eligible for Full Registration they must be able to demonstrate that they have met the Professional Standards at this stage.
Typically, assessments and recommendations about proficiency are undertaken at the educational venue. In some circumstances, however, teachers are unable to have their teaching practice assessed against the Professional Standards by an appropriate person at an education venue. In such cases, teachers can apply directly to the TRBWA for an assessment of their proficiency against the Professional Standards.
