Cultural responsiveness is when “educators demonstrate an ongoing commitment to developing their own cultural knowledge...with children, families and communities.” (AGDE, 2022, p.23) 

• What does cultural responsiveness look like in practice?  
• How are multiple cultural ways of knowing explored and responded to in your services?  
• How will you collaborate with children and families to build a culturally responsive early learning environment? 

Explore how to deliver respectful experiences of Indigenous histories, cultures and languages, and who to engage with in order to embed authentic First Nations perspectives into your program. 

• Are you familiar with the new tools for self-assessment to support identified and key practices? 
• Would you like to build confidence in identifying and writing quality practices? 

Unpack key concepts such as self-assessment and quality improvement planning to enable the whole team to gain a deeper understanding of self-assessment and its role in continuous improvement in the provision of education and care. 

NEW TOPIC

Educators, especially those who are new to the sector, often lack confidence and knowledge around how to observe and document children’s learning. This session will aim to provide support to these educators by offering practical support for them to learn observation methods, whilst learning about what moments need to be documented. 

During this webinar, you will be given an opportunity to reflect on current planning and documentation processes and understand how to use an inquiry-based approach.

NEW TOPIC

• Do you understand how key guiding documents underpin professional practice and expectations?
• Have you ever encountered an ethical dilemma and been unsure of the appropriate action?

Participants will explore the concept of the rights of the child with links to the EYLF, Code of Ethics and the National Quality Standards, and how to embed the rights of the child in practice. 

Are you ready to strengthen your knowledge of compliance and take quality practices in your service to the next level?

This session will provide participants with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Education and Care Services National Law and Regulations to ensure compliance within their service. Participants will also unpack the concept of quality, exploring its meaning and practical approaches to embedding quality practices into their daily operations

Note: This series is only recommended for new directors or those looking for a refresh.

NEW TOPIC

This session introduces the Circle of Security program and invites educators to explore how attachment theory underpins the program while complementing and supporting the National Framework -Belonging Being and Becoming EYLF V2.0.  

NEW TOPIC

Who doesn’t have a favourite piece of music or song that makes them feel good? But how often is music included in your daily with children? Music has intrinsic worth, creating a space where children build their sense of individual and collective identity. It is also a tool for healing, offering freedom for self-expression exploring emotions.

This interactive 3-hour workshop for educators, teachers and team members will help participants learn or refresh their knowledge of NSW Child Safe Standards and Child Protection Legislation in early childhood education and care settings, identify current practices, and recognise areas for improvement when supporting the implementation of the Child Safe Standards in your service.

Note: We run a separate session on this topic for leaders, directors and nominated supervisors. Book here.
