Why ARTIPL + SSTIPL Are Game Changers for ACT Teachers in 2026
Professional learning in the ACT just got smarter. With the introduction of Automatic Recognition of Teacher Identified Professional Learning (ARTIPL) and System Sponsored TIPL (SSTIPL), introduced in the last couple of years, teachers now have a streamlined, high trust framework that reduces admin and increases recognition of the real learning you already do.
ARTIPL + SSTIPL = high trust, low admin professional learning.
ACT teachers benefit from more recognition, simpler compliance, and learning that truly reflects classroom practice. ARTIPL and SSTIPL is built on professional conversations, not compliance tasks. This strengthens trust between teachers, leaders, and TQI while supporting meaningful, collaborative growth across ACT schools.
ARTIPL: Less Admin, More Recognition
ARTIPL means teachers no longer need to write reflections for many common professional learning activities. Instead, your school based verification delegate confirms your learning and it’s automatically added to your TQI profile keeping you compliant without the paperwork. This reflects TQI’s “right touch” approach: high standards, low burden.
Everyday Work Now Counts
No duplication. No extra uploads. Just authentic professional learning captured automatically. Be sure to discuss this with your verification delegate in your school so you can reap the benefits. A huge win for ACT teachers, activities you already do as part of your role are now formally recognised. These include:
- mentoring & coaching
- supervising pre-service teachers
- curriculum writing
- case management
- leading PL or committees
- disability e learning modules
- Early Childhood Assessment and rating (NQF)
SSTIPL: System Supported Growth
Alongside ARTIPL, SSTIPL ensures high quality, system aligned professional learning continues to support ACT teachers. TIPL activities remain central to TQI’s requirements, helping teachers meet professional goals through relevant, standards aligned learning. This means you can rely on coordinated, quality PL that complements the learning already embedded in your daily practice. Ask your principal if your employer has submitted SSTIPL program for you to access.
