1PROFESSIONAL GOALS AND STRATEGIES OF TEACHING
The Australian Professional Standard of Teachers: Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) (AITSL 2011)
The Australian Professional Standard of Teachers provides a description about the knowledge, skills and understanding that is expected
from effective and competent teachers. The standards work as accreditation for recognising the teachers. It helps in ensuring the integrity and the
accountability of the profession (Aitsl.edu.au 2019). The significance of the standards is that it helps in illustrating the teaching knowledge and
practise so that professional engagement can take place. Apart from this, the other significance is that these standards can be applicable in the
professional career in each stage of the teachers (Aitsl.edu.au 2019).

well as retain quality teachers. Most of the educators before being involved with school education have expressed concerns about the little
recognition in the profession and the under value that is provided to the teachers. The staffs that are involved in early childhood education is
often characterised with having a low wage as well as poor status in the society. Along with this, the quality of the students is affected by the
poor infrastructure that is maintained at the place of education.
According to Colker (2008), effective early childhood leader can be made by the development of feelings as well as beliefs that help in
the development of a good reputation among the students. Every teacher and benefactor can be benefitted from gaining knowledge of the

characteristics that define effective and early childhood teaching. In this regard, several standards can be identified for the development of the
teachers. The two standards that have been used are the professional knowledge and professional practice. The reason behind the choices of
these two standards is that these standards help in the development of a student in the theoretical as well practical knowledge.
