Hi Smithers
The senior teacher levels 1 and 2 along with Level 3 classroom teacher positions were similar schemes introduced into the WA Public School system - the aim was to encourage teachers to remain in the classroom. It has become harder to get a Level 3 classification than a HOLA or Deputy position. They have all proved to be Teacher Tokenism.
Check out a copy of the letter in today's West written by Marko V - copy to be found at www.membersfirst.org.au. It really sums up why it was necessary for the formation of PLATO.
We miss your comments that you used to post on the Plato forum.
