The website http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/
provided a number of information about the Australian system for early
childhood education. The site also covers
a variety of topics such as codes of ethics, supporting best practices, and the
latest news on current trends in early childhood. One surprising fact that really intrigued me
was learning about the state/territory branches as it relates to early
childhood education. Currently Australia is in the process of drafting a
mission statement for all the branches. The mission statement will address a
common theme relating to the well fair of children. The common theme will
include educational assessment for children aged up to eight years, environmental
education, in-home and family day care, family-friendly work practices, first-language
maintenance, gender equity, managing transitions, and resiliency.
In
addition, the website has another noteworthy mention and that is the national
quality standard section. This link on the page will allow readers to explore
and read several articles about best practices, classroom management and
countless information with a varying degree of information.
Georgiana,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have explored the same website, you have given me a further outlook on what the site also includes. Thank you for your information.

It seems that around the world the issues are very similar to what everyone is doing in early childhood development. It is good to know that we are all trying to understand the importance of early childhood learning. Thank you.
