Congratulations to Karen Hooper for her appointment as CITE Alliance Victoria Director.

 

Currently, as the Initial Trainee Teacher Manager, Karen has taken our program to a whole new level. Her immense capacity, networks with our Christian schools, and work in the mentoring and growing of Christians into the teaching profession, is highly regarded.

CITE welcomes the amalgamation of the Director and the Initial Trainee Teacher Manager roles.

 

Associate Professor Jennie Bickmore-Brand will step down at the end of the year, as Director, and is greatly encouraged that the Board chose Karen Hooper to provide the necessary continuity to this innovative program. With four more trainee teachers graduating from the program at the end of this year, CITE is expanding its impact on the future generations of Christian schooling. This is kingdom work, and we are blessed to be part of the ministry.

The CITE Alliance provides a Christ-focused, innovative, practical teacher training program where participants:

  • are placed in a classroom from the first day of their degree.

  • study teaching at either Eastern College Australia or Christian Heritage College

  • enjoy a tailored learning program that assists them to be classroom-ready teachers.
