Principals with teachers applying for the ACET recognition

The purpose of these pages are to provide principals with the information they need to;

a) confirm a portfolio’s authenticity by signing the appropriate sections of the teacher’s Portfolio Form before it is submitted,

and

b) make a recommendation in relation to the content of the teacher’s portfolio against the ACET professional criteria.

There are two stages for a teacher when applying for the ACET recognition.

Stage one: Expression of Interest (EOI)
Stage two: Portfolio
