Eligibility Guidelines

To be eligible to participate in the program, you must:

  • be a teacher, para-professional or principal class officer employed in a Victorian government school (either contract or permanent)
  • be on the central payroll with a valid EduMail account
  • check your EduMail account on a regular basis.

Staff members paid locally (e.g. CRTs) are not eligible to lease notebooks, because notebook contribution payments must be deducted from the recipient’s salary.

As per schedule 3 of the terms and conditions of the Notebook Program, you must also demonstrate a commitment to ongoing professional development in the use of Learning Technologies, by:

  • regularly using the notebook in the school
  • undertaking 40 hours of professional development in eLearning confirmed in a professional development plan and achieved over the period of the agreement
  • using the Notebook as a tool in the promotion and development of eLearning through planning, teaching and curriculum, professional learning and team leadership
  • sharing curriculum materials or teaching strategies that are developed using the notebook.
