Written summary of recommendations and review of the journey

Quality Area 1

Our quality facilitator inspires and supports your team of educators to deepen understanding of NQS QA1 requirements and the intention of EYLF V2.0 to guide principles and practices, including planning for children’s progress in the five learning outcomes. As a team you will explore and step up in quality practice, including:

embedding slow pedagogy in everyday curriculum, with understanding of: the child as a capable learner, unrushed play-based learning, meaningful and child-centred routines for authentic learning, rituals, small group interactions, and the roles of an intentional educator

observing and capturing meaningful documentation to understand each child and their learning progress in the five outcomes

using raw documentation – recording children’s ideas, questions, inquiry, and learning in a group learning book

planning and evaluating the child-centred curriculum

working collaboratively to implement and reflect on the educational program and practice 

This is achieved through our quality facilitator’s guidance with:

1. Fortnightly practice coaching, for 3 months

Practice coaching sessions are from 3.5 hours – 5 hours, depending on the size of the team, to provide opportunities:

  • for observations of practice, program and documentation, leading to feedback, and reflective conversations 
  • for practice coaching alongside educators, modelling practice and use of meaningful documentation
  • to support educators’ intentionality in the curriculum planning cycle and documentation 
  • for conversations and feedback with educators to inform monthly team reflections
2. Monthly team learning and reflection for 90 minutes at your team meetings, for 3 months

To support the team’s shared understanding, reflection, ideas, and agreement for quality improvement in QA1 Educational program and practice.

Educational Leader Mentorship
