Schools are facing an "impending crisis" as the casualisation of teachers rises and retention falls, amid projections that an extra 69 million teachers will be needed globally by 2030.
New teachers also tend to be placed in more challenging schools, said Anna Sullivan, an associate professor of education at the University of South Australia who co-edited the book. Ms Preston said students are taught by replacement teachers for at least a year of their schooling, underscoring the need for more experienced teachers to take on more of these temporary positions."Replacement teaching is likely to be of better quality if carried out by permanent teachers, especially if they are part of or have a strong relationship with the school," the book finds.
In NSW, the Teachers' Federation is calling for additional Gonski funding to be spent on employing more permanent teachers to allow them more time for professional development, collaboration with colleagues and greater engagement with students and parents.
