Abstract

This report summarises the outcomes of a National Summit on Teaching Out-of-field held on October 21-23, 2022. The Summit was initiated by a consortium of researchers, teacher educators and organisations interested in raising the profile and attending to this issue plaguing our schools. The impetus for the Summit arose from the momentum that has been building in Australia fuelled by research (e.g., Caldis & Kleeman, 2019; Hobbs, 2013; Hobbs & Porsch, 2022; Du Plessis, 2017, 2021; Weldon, 2016), school need, and government initiatives (Department of Education & Training, 2019) in response to national data (e.g., Weldon, 2016) relating to the extent of out-of-field teaching. Also pressure and interest from subject associations, unions, and other government organisations call for serious recognition and action in relation to the issues associated with out-of-field teaching.
