It played a critical role in ensuring implementation of the National Agreement and continues to work collaboratively on the wider workforce reform agenda.
Since 2003, WAMG has been at the heart of school workforce reforms including remodelling, changes to the teachers’ pay structure, review of whole school staffing structures, revisions to teachers’ performance management, and new professional standards. The common purpose is to support schools in raising standards and tackling workload issues for staff.
It is committed to the cultural change that will raise the status and professionalism of teachers, create new opportunities and greater recognition for support staff and help schools to organise themselves so as to produce the best outcomes for children.
WAMG, along with others, provides input to the development of government policy where there are school workforce implications.
