Stop Writing Reflections for Work You're Already Doing
TQI's new Automatically Recognised Teacher Identified Professional Learning (ARTIPL) means your everyday professional activities now count directly toward your mandatory 20 hours of PL.
When do I have to start thinking about the PL Verification Process?
When: From NOW and before the end of the school year make sure you have had a conversation with your verification delegate in your school or Early Childhood Education and Care setting.
What happens: Your delegate simply ticks your ARTIPL activities on the TQI portal in your PL profile.
Your part: Show evidence of ongoing reflective practice.
Result: Automatic recognition in your PL profile – no extra paperwork!
