The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) are a public statement that describes the professional knowledge, professional practice and professional engagement required of teachers. They comprise seven standards describing what teachers should know and be able to do.
This section of your portfolio provides a collection of artefacts that illustrate your skills and expertise in relation to each Standard.
The links in the Professional Standards Menu above provide access to a Category page for each of the Standards:
Professional Knowledge
- Standard 1: Know the students and how they learn
- Standard 2: Know the content and how to teach it
Professional Practice
- Standard 3: Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning
- Standard 4: Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments
- Standard 5: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning
Professional Engagement

- Standard 7: Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and community
Your Standards Posts will appear on these pages, as you build your collection of artefacts.
