PROFESSIONAL LEARNING WEBINAR
Reflective Practice: A New Way of Thinking
Join Angie as she explores reflective practice, why it is important for teachers to think deeply about their own practice and the impact this can have on your language program.
Before proceeding, we recommend you have permission from your manager to engage in this activity to ensure you are compensated for your time. We expect that this learning module takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
This learning module is designed for all teachers and educators engaged in delivering the Early Childhood Language Program, to explore the skills, knowledge, and practices that early childhood professionals need to effectively engage children in the language program.
We have designed this learning session to be conducted as a professional development opportunity for your whole team, to encourage meaningful discussion and planning for action together. However, where that is not possible the module is also suited to individual access.
We hope this learning module is meaningful for your program and we welcome your input to build on the skills, resources, and support for the whole Early Childhood Language Program cohort of early childhood professionals.
This webinar was run on 27 April 2021.
