There are two criteria the teacher must meet: (i) Complete a minimum of 12 months (1 year) full time equivalent service at Level 2.4 of the salary scale (two years full time equivalent service at Level 2.3 or above on the salary scale is also accepted as an interim measure as Level 2.4 was only introduced in August 2007); and (ii) Undertake relevant professional development or one (1) unit of relevant study at a university or TAFE College or other agreed professional learning totalling 42 hours outside of ordinary school hours. The recent General Agreement second offer that was rejected offered to relax the requirements for accessing Senior Teacher status for many level 2.4 teachers. 3. The duties undertaken by a Senior teacher are negotiated between the principal and or the administrator team and the teacher concerned having regard to the teacher’s workload. The duties of Senior Teachers focus on instructional support to assist in the professional learning of other teachers in the education system, such as providing mentoring, supervision, professional support, counselling and guidance for teachers. They also contribute to curriculum and school development planning.
