Dear Janene,

I hope this email finds you well.

I have just submitted my maintenance of accreditation (belatedly, I apologise). Not only do I wish to flag this with you, but also ascertain, due to my long absence from teaching, if there would be any other requirements such as (annual mandatory training) extra training, actual teaching etc.

I recall our last conversation was about my return to work where I indicated that I would need to catch up on all necessary training ( and receive legal and medical advice). I have also received the SAP HR non attendance reminders, though was unaware of any definitive outcome from the discussion we had regarding specific dates or processes for me to return to work, especially due to the circumstances.

Finally, I would like to share with you my thesis from last year titled: Wellbeing-A Pedagogical Praxis for the Radical Reform of Secondary Education in Australia, where I present Big Picture Education as an exemplary case study that supports it. It can be found here:

Should you find the time to have a glance it may demonstrate my passion for education and specifically Big Picture Education ( I also got a class 2 distinction... in lockdown, with a 4 year old, without access to libraries etc ?).

I look forward to hearing from you, and enjoy your day!

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately I do not have evidence to attest to your practice against the Standards, as previously explained to you. I have made this assessment with NESA.

Regards

Janene

This teacher has not worked in the school context on my site for many years and is not known to me, nor the Deputy Principal that manages our Cooks Hill Campus site where she last worked many years ago as a 'supernumerary' teacher. This person does not have a current Performance and Development Plan (PDP), has not demonstrated her practice nor been in the school to my knowledge. I have email threads showing and offering Rebekah an explanation of her need to return to work to demonstrate her practice and currency to be able to meet the maintenance of accreditation requirements. Rebekah has refused to return to the school site and is currently recorded as being on unauthorized leave, citing her anti-vaccination status as reason for refusing to work in schools. This matter was being managed by the Performance Unit of the Department of Education (PES). I do not attest to this teacher meeting the Standards, as I do not have any evidence to base this decision on and can not verify any part of her reflective statement.
