In June staff from the TRB presented papers at the International Forum of Teacher Regulatory Authorities in Brisbane. The papers shared findings from two large research projects that explored different aspects of our teaching workforce in South Australia.

This presentation gave international recognition to an in-house research project into South Australian teacher conduct matters, as well reporting of research into a 7-year, long-term teacher attrition data and study.

Presentation at the IFTRA conference was a welcome opportunity to share perspectives and learn from authorities as far afield as Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada and locally, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

What challenges the teaching profession faces in teacher supply and quality world-wide was remarkably congruent and invites innovation and reflection in equal part.
