This session was previously known as 'Bringing the EYLF V2.0 to Life: Equity, inclusion and high expectations in practice', however the content remains the same.

This 2-hour-session will examine the concepts of equity, inclusion and high expectations, and provide an opportunity for educators to reflect on their how their current practice considers these concepts.

We will explore the research behind the EYLF principle, as well as linking it to the National Quality Standards, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the child. Participants will have the opportunity to explore tangible ways they can change their practice to better cater to the needs of the diverse families attending our services.  

Participants will have the opportunity to:  

• Develop an understanding of what equity, inclusion and high expectations means to practice in an early childhood setting. 
• Consider ways in which their practice could change to be more equitable, inclusive and display higher expectations for children.  
• Learn ways in which other services embed inclusion, equity and high expectations in their practice.
