Edward Melhuish and Frances Watts Join Early Childhood Conference 2019

 

The Australian Council for Educational Leaders and NSW Department of Education present the 4th Annual Early Childhood Conference - "Sharing the Responsibility : Inclusion in the Early Years".

This year's conference will see teachers, leaders and educators from the early childhood sector come to together to collaborate as local and global experts share research and learnings focusing on "Inclusion in the Early Years". We invite you to register today for the important two-day conference and share in the discussion and find solutions amongst your colleagues and peers.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Early childhood education plays an integral role in linking parents, early childhood education services and community and providers to ensure that all children have access to quality learning opportunities.

It is important that we all work together to provide learners in the early years with a sense of belonging, a seamless transition to school, and initiate a lifelong relationship with learning.

This Conference will focus on the various factors that contribute to the development of the whole learner, from the early years and onwards with a focus on inclusion.

As an educational leader, are you and your centre maximising your critical role in building effective channels between families, schools and communities?

The conference will enable those involved in the early childhood sector, as well as those in the primary and secondary sectors, to discuss, explore, share and experience relevant and contemporary issues in the field of Early Education and Inclusion.

Early childhood professionals will have the opportunity to hear keynote speakers who are specialists in teaching young children and supporting the development of the whole child considering any unique needs they may have.

The conference will provide attendees the opportunity to reflect, engage and network with colleagues and mentors on issues such as:

  • developing professional teaching and administrative staff in the early childhood sector with a focus on inclusion
  • understanding and discussing new research in early childhood & inclusive learning and teaching
  • leading early childhood pedagogy
  • creating positive relationships with children, families, staff, services and local groups
  • guiding and transitioning young children from early childhood to feeder primary schools, secondary schools and other learning communities
  • preparing every child for their learning pathway
