چکیده
The last five years in Australia have seen the intensification of activity around teacher standards. There have been a number of initiatives at the national level, including the development of standards for accomplished teachers of Mathematics, Science and English. A number of state education systems have also undertaken work in this area—for example in Western Australia (EDWA 2001) and Queensland (Education Queensland 1998, 2001). More recently some attention has been paid to the matter of teacher standards and the integration of ICTs into teaching and learning in classrooms.
