IELA

The Institute for Educational Leadership in Australia (IELA) is an initiative of the Professional Teachers’ Council of New South Wales. IELA is now the ‘banner’ under which annual awards for excellence in teaching, professional leadership and professional service are made.

The naming of IELA was predicated by a belief that the most important events in school education occur in the classroom under the guidance and management of a highly trained and qualified education professional: the classroom teacher.

The IELA logo is significant. Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, was the daughter of Heaven and Earth was symbolised by a fountain. She and Zeus had nine daughters the Muses, goddesses of artistic inspiration, of Literature, History, Dance, Music and Sciences.

Accreditation of PD in NSW

Teachers in NSW are now responsible for logging their own accreditation hours of PD in NSW. PTC NSW, as the peak body of professional teacher associations, can provide a Professional Validation Certificate, for all participants attending a PTC NSW member professional development event. 

All professional teacher associations provide a range of high quality, relevant professional development that teachers and Schools can have confidence in, when selecting courses that meets their individual and/or school needs. 

NSW continues to roll out new curriculum in most KLA’s and professional teacher associations, subject experts ensure that they are providing up to date, trusted professional learning. Once a PTC NSW professional teacher association event is held, a participants list can be sent PTC NSW and a validation certificate will be generated and emailed to all participants, who completed the session. Certificates can form part of a teacher’s PD records.
