The Ministry of education actively supports educators interested in further professional development.

If you are interested in completing a qualification, taking time off to study each week while still teaching, researching an area that you love, achieving a higher level qualification, moving to another curriculum or subject area, or taking time off to research a topic of interest, reflecting on that topic and rejuvenating, then this provides information on the professional development opportunities available to you, along with details on how to apply.

Information about study awards, study leave positions, fellowships, scholarships and sabbaticals available to Teachers and Principals is available on the Ministry of education website http://www.minedu.govt.nz/NZEducation/EducationPolicies/Schools/ProfessionalDevelopment.aspx
