The beginning teacher must demonstrate knowledge and skill outcomes in four broad domains:

- The Learner and Learning Environment
- The Teaching and Learning Process
- Professionalism.
The model is supported through a mission statement, professional commitments, learning style practices and university and school initiatives.
