Hi, we contacted the person who gave us helens ITA and explained the situation his reply was that even though the teachers council don't recognise her experience in early childhood NZIS do. So in theory she will be registered to teach primary education and providing she can prove her experience in early childhood, which she can, she will still be eligible for the points she is claiming for her experience so she will be able to submit her ITA.
hope this helps, any questions let me know
P+H

Is this good news for you then? can you still apply? hope so

Thank you for the support ladies. Tracey i am waiting for my NZQA assessment before i apply for teachers registration because i have to.
The only thing i will do is find out if i can submit my ITA pending my results because in my ignorance i have already had my medical and it is only valid for three months, and as i'm sure you know, NZQA don't work very quickly. let me know how you get on, both of you. x
