Rethinking School Readiness

Last weekend several of us attended the 2012 Early Years Exhibition & Conference at Rosehill.  We attended three seminars:

1. How to start and continue a Quality Improvement Plan;
   
2. Electronic Journals/Portfolios for Planning and Assessment;
   
3. Rethinking School Readiness.
   

The final seminar was presented by the President of Child Care NSW, Vicki Skoulogenis, entitled Rethinking School Readiness.  Vicki's passion for Early Learning was amazing.  

 What does 'school readiness' mean to you?

School Readiness is a major area of interest for many families, however the definition and expectation changes dramatically from one family to another.  We all want our children to be given the best possible start in life, and to learn those valuable skills that will help them be at ease in any environment.  But how is that best achieved?  A good start is to make sure we are all on the same page.

Vicki's presentation is attached below - we encourage you to have a look and approach us with any questions or comments.
