Teaching Excellence Program 2025

If you consider yourself a highly-skilled teacher, or you know any highly-skilled teachers, applications for the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership’s Teaching Excellence Program (TEP) are now open.

TEP is a year-long program designed to advance the professional knowledge and practice of teachers from Victorian government, Catholic and Independent schools.

Highly-skilled teachers will:

• analyse their practice to deepen content and pedagogical content knowledge in key discipline areas
• access contemporary, evidence-informed research and apply this learning to their students’ needs
• Use an inquiry-based approach to deepen their knowledge, capability and confidence to teach even more effectively.

Applications close Sunday 22 September.

The Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership is hosting information sessions for teachers and principals to learn more about the Teaching Excellence Program.
