Day 125 Accredited...in ACT.

Part of being a teacher is being accredited. It is a fairly involved process to get accredited in NSW, but I am accredited in ACT. According to the NSW Institute of Teachers,

 *  if you are already provisionally accredited in NSW, forward a certified copy of your current interstate registration to the NSW Institute Teachers so your status can be updated

AND

*  if you are a teacher who lives in a border area and teaches in both states you will be required to meet the maintenance of registration/accreditation requirements in the state in which you live. 

HOWEVER as the ACT Teacher Quality Institute is relatively new, the NSW Institute are unsure of how to proceed with teachers who have ACT accreditation. I was also told by the NSW Institute that as they hadn't done anything with my request...and my ACT registration expired at the end of March, that they would not look at it until I provided proof that I have current registration. 

Today I received my 2012 certificate of registration. Now I have to get a certified copy and send it off to the NSW Institute and cross my fingers!
