Classroom Teachers
The classroom teacher classification comprises two levels – Level 1 and Level 2.

The classroom teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills to effectively engage students and improve their learning.
As experience is gained by a classroom teacher, their contribution to the school program increases beyond the classroom.
All classroom teachers must be registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching pursuant to the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).
