Our beliefs
AEU Principals is committed to the support and enhancement of:
- Public education
- The teaching profession
- The principal class
We believe this is most effectively achieved through the unified voice of the AEU.
This core commitment is best achieved through the efforts of principals, teachers and education support staff working together to enhance educational outcomes by encouraging a shared, school community wide commitment to the best possible teaching and learning.
Our efforts are supported by the:
- Implementation of agreed collaborative, school-based decision-making processes
- Establishment of a school culture that encourages and supports the efforts of all staff working together to enhance educational outcomes, and which recognises and promotes the leadership role of teachers in this process
- Recognition, encouragement and support of aspirant leadership
- Protection and enhancement of the industrial and professional rights of the principal class
- Support for AEU Principals members through those tensions that may arise within a school community
- Provision of forums and professional development to encourage innovative and creative strategies that support the leadership of public education.
The core belief of AEU Principals is that public education is a keystone of a democratic society and that an important element of the role of the principal class is the support and enhancement of the public education system.
