Join a Story Sharing Workshop
This story sharing workshop series will be facilitated by sector champions who are already successfully using the redesigned quality ratings certificate.
Specifically targeted to three specific groups;
- Directors, Managers and Management Committee Representatives
- Educators
- Approved Providers
these workshops will share ideas on how you can use the Quality Rating certificate to spark discussion of the practices that make your service unique.
We will look at practical tips on how you can use the graphic to guide your conversations with families about your service’s quality improvement journey, and contribute to awareness of the importance and value of quality early childhood education and care. There will be the opportunity to ask questions before the event.
