The website that I chose to explore is Early Childhood Australia. While researching this site, I learned that they have their own journal series entitled "The Research in Practice Series". "The Research in Practice Series is a practical, easy-to-read
resource, offering effective new approaches for those challenging issues
which arise in the care and education of young children" (www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org). Some titles in the journal series are: Documenting children's learning, Connecting with toddlers, Supporting literacy in the early years, and Inclusive pedagogy from a child's perspective.
The website had tons of information for educators as well as families. I found it interesting that Early Childhood Australia has a journal for everything Early Childhood. One thing that I found noteworthy from this site is the Early Years Connect. "Early Years Connect is a professional development package which
has been designed to support early childhood education and care (ECEC)
educators working with children with complex additional needs. This
includes children with a disability, significant development delay and
complex social, emotional and behavioral needs"(www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org).

Hi Brittany,
ReplyDeleteThe Early Childhood Australia site was interesting with so much information that is took time to really go through the website. I liked the information shared on KidsMatter. KidsMatter is a mental health and wellbeing initiative for children and their families. Schools in Australia can become a member of KidsMatter then they have access to the whole-of-service professional learning and get individualized support and access to lot of information and a team that will help with a continuous improvement process.
Thank You for the post!
