OneSchool
OneSchool supports schools to run safe, secure, sustainable and consistent reporting and administrative processes. This includes the timely and accurate reporting and management of student behaviour records.
All Queensland state school students have a secure profile within OneSchool, with individual information being used to ensure the needs of each individual student are being met.
Beginning teacher learning suite
The department’s
Beginning teacher learning suite helps preservice, beginning and early-career teachers:
- navigate the first years of their teaching journey
- develop their capability, confidence and classroom readiness
- start collecting the evidence they need to move to full registration with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT).
New teachers will learn how to effectively manage the classroom and support behaviour, as well as better care for personal wellbeing.
The learning suite aligns to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) and explores topics essential to quality teaching and best practice in Queensland state schools.
