Congratulations! You're starting out in your first teaching role and you’re preparing for your first class. You will always remember these early days in your teaching career.
This is an exciting time as you transition from preservice to beginning teacher and we understand it may also be a little daunting. You’ll be building relationships with your students and their parents and carers, as well as your colleagues and the school community.
Before you start
We recommend familiarising yourself with resources developed specifically for
teachers working in Queensland state schools. You'll find all the information you need to get started in your teaching career, including some orientation checklists to guide you on what to do before you start, on your first day and week, as well as procedures for your school and relocation.
Professional learning and support
Our Education Futures Institute will help you build professional expertise in the first 12 months and across your teacher career in Queensland state schools.
The Starting Successfully program provides tailored professional learning and support aligned to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and will assist you to generate evidence of practice to help you achieve full teacher registration.
