Thought Leadership Series: Teacher Capability Uplift - Building Capability Across the Teaching Journey
As VET providers face increasing challenges in attracting, developing and retaining educators, there is growing recognition that professional learning must move beyond compliance and become an integrated approach to workforce capability development. This webinar explores how organisations can build capability across the teaching journey, particularly for educators transitioning from industry into teaching.
Drawing on Bendigo Kangan Institute's Teacher Capability approach, this session highlights how a structured professional pathway can support educators from entry into teaching through to advanced practice. The framework aligns professional learning with organisational priorities, regulatory requirements and workforce capability planning, creating a coherent system for developing and sustaining teaching excellence.
Recognising that many VET educators begin their teaching careers with deep industry expertise but limited teaching experience, the model supports progressive capability development through foundational learning, reflective practice, peer learning, feedback and ongoing professional growth. Rather than viewing professional development as a series of isolated training events, the approach positions learning as a continuous and evolving journey embedded in everyday practice.
The webinar also showcases how professional learning can be integrated with capability recognition, workforce planning and organisational development strategies. Underpinned by evidence-informed approaches to professional learning and capability development, the model values diverse forms of learning while supporting measurable growth in teaching practice.
By moving beyond compliance-focused professional development and embedding structured pathways for growth, organisations can develop a teaching workforce that is confident, adaptable and responsive to the evolving needs of learners, industry and the VET sector.
