The Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand | Matatū Aotearoa is the professional body representing over 150,000 Registered teachers in early childhood education, primary and secondary schooling.
The Teaching Council’s purpose is to ensure safe and high-quality leadership, teaching and learning for children and young people through raising the status of the profession. We do this by ensuring teachers are competent, fit to practice, and accountable for the way in which they teach.
Our functions are expressly set out in the Education and Training Act 2020. Our roles include:
Setting the standards for Initial Teacher Education to ensure new teachers are appropriately trained and have the skills and knowledge needed to be effective in the classroom.
Setting the requirements to ensure that new teachers receive support early in their careers through induction and mentoring from more experienced teachers.
Setting the standards and criteria for teacher Registration and Certification to ensure that all teachers in our classrooms are of good character, fit to be a teacher, and satisfactorily trained to teach.
Registering and certificating teachers and maintaining a public register of all teachers to provide assurance to schools, centres, and the public that their teachers are of good character, fit to be a teacher, and satisfactorily trained to teach.
Maintaining a Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for the teaching profession to ensure that all teachers are meeting a minimum set of requirements to continue to teach.
Investigating and acting on issues relating to teacher conduct or competence to ensure the safety of children and young people.
Supporting teachers to develop and adapt their practice to meet a changing future.
Matatū Aotearoa is an independent statutory body funded by fees and a levy that are paid by teachers.
At the centre of this ambition is a new teacher portal that will replace our current website and knit together a number of digital products and services in a seamless way to deliver outstanding digital experiences for teachers that are highly engaging and highly valued. The intention is to feature digital content that is relevant and personalised to their sector, role and professional interests across their entire career journey from aspiring teacher to beginning teacher to highly experienced professional.
