ATTEN – Australian Technologies Teacher Educators Network

Overview

The Australian Technologies Teacher Educators Network (ATTEN) was formed by the Australian Council of Deans of Education in 2019 as a result of the ever-increasing necessity for teacher educators to remain current in the Technologies areas, especially as a result of the demands driven through the implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies, as well as those from industry and government to develop pre-service and in-service teacher capacity and improve the quality of technologies education received by students in Australian schools.

ATTEN is a network of Technologies teacher educators from universities around Australia. We are passionate about developing pre-service and in-service teachers’ capacities to support their students in a digital world. https://atten.net.au/

Goals

ATTEN works to:

  • represent Australian university Technologies Teacher Educators
  • develop a better understanding of the Technologies pre-service teacher education landscape in Australia through communication of common understandings for the implementation of Technologies education in pre-service Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs
  • share and develop pedagogical strategies to promote excellence in pre-service teacher Technologies education
  • share and develop resources that help teachers teach the Technologies Curriculum in Australian schools
  • identify research needs and collaborative research opportunities in the Technologies teacher education area
  • ensure that ATTEN becomes a sustainable organisation, providing a strong voice in the advocacy of Technologies teacher education.
