Are you ready to elevate your teaching skills to the next level in 2026?

If you’re 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 Independent, Government and Catholic schools.

Participants will have a valuable opportunity to:

  • Analyse your practice to deepen content and pedagogical knowledge in key discipline areas
  • Access contemporary, evidence-informed research and apply this learning to your students’ needs
  • Use an inquiry-based approach to deepen your knowledge, capability and confidence to teach even more effectively.
“You already as a teacher sometimes feel like I’m making an impact, I’m doing something, I’m making a difference. But then you’re like, there are ways that I can get better at this and the Teaching Excellence Program just gave me that opportunity.”

— Obayda Kannouj, Al-Taqwa College; former Teaching Excellence Program participant
