The State School Teachers’ Union of WA (SSTUWA) continues to provide Early Childhood Educators with opportunities to develop effective industrial and professional practice, understandings and knowledge.
The Australian Early Development Census (AEDC), completed by schools every three years, measures young children’s progress across five developmental domains. With the release of the 2021 results, schools have trend data to identify what is working well and what needs to be improved.
The SSTUWA invites school leaders and teachers to join Gail Clark, Western Australian AEDC Coordinator, Principal Stephen Soames and Nadia Wilson-Ali, Director of Education and Quality at Nido Education to learn more about the AEDC and its application in the school setting.
Gail will discuss how the results can be used as an evidence base to inform planning and key community partnerships. Stephen will share his experience integrating the AEDC in practice and planning. Nadia will talk about opportunities to maximise children’s continuity of learning through strong connections between families, schools and early childhood education and care services.
