Fast tracking programming skills for new educators
Program planning and implementation are at the core of your work as an educator, and also at the heart of Quality Area 1 of the National Quality Standard. This session will unpack in clear, accessible and practical terms just what the revised NQS requires in regards to the planning cycle, how this might look in practice and some effective ways to document. Using real world examples we will explore how to observe and document children’s play and learning, ways to plan from this, and how to assess progress in relation to Learning Outcomes, as well as how to put this altogether in a reflective cycle. This session will be useful for new educators, as well as more experienced professionals wanting to come to grips with the recent changes to the NQS
