Initial Teacher Education Assessment (iTEA)
Project Details
Under the AITSL and government Initial Teacher Education (ITE) requirements, all students applying to ITE courses across Australia will need to meet suitability for teaching (non-academic selection) criteria as a part of course entry criteria. iTEA provides this, as it asks questions about your various characteristics and dispositions. This gives you the opportunity to show your personal attributes which are important for effectiveness and success in the teaching profession.
iTEA includes a series of questions that concentrate on the candidate's motivation to teach, communication skills, willingness to learn, self-efficacy, resilience, and organisational and planning skills. It focuses on assessments of your competencies, dispositions, and personal characteristics in relation to being a teaching student and as a future teacher professional.
