Data repository for teacher education scoping study

An ACDE study funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council

The ACDE believes that the quality of teacher education, and thus the future development of the teaching profession, can be enhanced by an effective national data repository for teacher education. The ACDE is being supported and funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) (formerly Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education) to investigate the need and support for, and feasibility and specifications of a national data repository with systematically managed, accessible and usable data relevant to teacher education. This scoping study engages stakeholders in teacher education and experts in data management.  

Consultations are being held around the country, and input is welcome from any interested party. The Project is being directed by Professor Sue Willis, ACDE President. Working on the project are researcher, Barbara Preston, and consultants with high level data management expertise. Lucy Rogers is the executive officer.

The project is due for completion in July 2008.
