The SSTUWA Early Childhood Educator Conference is an opportunity for early childhood educators within our union to come together. The focus for this conference is to continue to support the well-being of educators in our ECE environments.
The context and the challenges we have all lived through, have had particularly significant impacts on teachers’ mental health and well-being. The conference speakers will provide top practical strategies and ways to support each other, return balance to life, and to be or stay well. Join your fellow ECE educators for a day of learning and development and ensure all aspects of your life remain in balance.

Teaching is a demanding profession, and as well as being curriculum and assessment specialists, we also need to maintain our professional demeanour when some students, parents and even colleagues may behave in a way that cause us concern, anxiety or ongoing stress. This workshop explores the causes of disruptive or negative behaviour and works with participants to explore our own triggers, responses and self-management strategies.
Participants will learn how to recognise and predict behaviours that are likely to cause us stress, and how to manage our responses to these in the immediate, short-term and long-term as we continue to maintain our wellness in order to be the best educators we can be.
Teamwork is essential for any team, but quality relationships and great teamwork don’t just happen. People need to understand the unique dynamics of their team and know how to bring out the best from the different types of people. This fun presentation reveals simple yet powerful processes to help you identify different work styles quickly and communicate with them effectively. Discover the Four Rules of Relationships and learn how to reduce conflict and improve communication in your team. You will receive a complimentary pack of CLICK Colour Discovery cards created by David as part of this session.
