Record and validate your PD achievements
When you complete any PD (both QTC Registered and Teacher Identified) you need to make sure it is recorded and also validated on your online account.

Write and submit your report
When you approach the end of each maintenance cycle, you need to write and submit a Maintenance of Accreditation Report at Proficient Teacher Level. This report should demonstrate how your classroom practice has reflected the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers over the period of your maintenance cycle. The report is verified by your principal and TAA and sent to BOSTES.
