The NSW Department of Education is encouraging services to submit their self-assessment information as part of the Assessment and Rating Process. This presents a valuable opportunity to highlight your exceeding practices in preparation for the Assessment and Rating visit. NSW assessors use this information to determine how the Assessment and Rating visit will be conducted and the evidence that they will be looking for throughout the Assessment and Rating visit. However, many educators have indicated that they find it difficult to highlight their exceeding practices in their self-assessment information given that there are limits on how much is able to be written. In this three-hour session, you will learn about:

- How to address each element of the National Quality Standard clearly and succinctly.

- How to ensure that the three exceeding themes are highlighted effectively in relation to each standard of the National Quality Standard

- How to write your five pieces of evidence per element in a way that effectively addresses the three exceeding themes.

- Systems and processes to authentically engage in ongoing self-assessment at your service so that you never again have to scramble to put your QIP or self-assessment information together at the last minute.

- How your self-assessment information can be organised at your service so that you can confidently demonstrate practice during the Assessment and Rating visit.

- How self-assessment and quality improvement planning work hand in hand to effectively drive practice improvements.

This three-hour session will change your approach to self-assessment, make quality improvement planning work for all members of your service community, and put you in the best position to showcase your exceeding practice during an Assessment and Rating visit.
