  18. China’s First Trial VET Teachers’ Standardsin Chongqing 2005, Australia-China (Chongqing) Vocational Education and Training Project developed Chongqing Secondary Vocational School VET Teachers’ Competency Standards(Trial).

  19. The Standards cover 9 competency modules and their 30 competency units: profession morality, industry liaison, curriculum design, delivery, assessment, exchange and coorporation, OHS, students management and professional development.

  20. Through the four perspectives of competency fields, competency units, competency elements and competency performance criteria, the Standard brings forward detailed requests for vocational teachers. • The Standard divides vocational teachers into elementary level, secondary level and higher level, in which the requests increase in turn and the requests of higher level cover lower level(s).

  21. In this Standard, “industry liaison” is more important than “teaching”. This means all the teachers of specialized courses and internship instructors have to have 2-month practice in industryevery 2 years. • The practice in industry will be registered and evaluated, and it is made an important index of teachers’ professional employment, appraisal and promotion.

  22. Challenges of Australian CIV TAE • Not enough relevance to contexts outside those of ‘workplace training’. • Debate of teachers’ capacities: to responsive to ‘customers’ in a ‘market’, rather than to students in an increasingly challenging learning environment.

  23. Challenges of Australian CIV TAE • VET workforce to focus on learning flows between VETand higher education and on vocational pathways between the sectors and between education and work. • Development of the teaching capability required to create the anticipated future of a high skills economy.
