Goals for 2018

-


Our meeting at Kohia Terrace School at the end of last year was about setting goals for 2018.  This is what we came up with.


Considerations for 2018:
  • Open afternoons inviting ECE into schools - meet teachers (after school).  Get to know school environment
  • Play based learning - what does it mean? Invite in a guest speaker
  • Cohort entry.  What does it mean?  What are schools doing?  Policy? 
  • Primary teachers coming into kindys to talk to parents for evenings 
  • Visiting centres during the day - see children in ECE environment
  • Communication about transition programmes with different schools 
  • Competencies reporting and aligning with ECE curriculum.  Show parents links
  • Handover letter/report from the ECE teacher to NE teacher.  Agreed document
  • Cultural differences. Guest speaker sharing Chinese transition needs. Korean?  Indian? 
  • Managing parent expectations 
  • Supporting children with special needs.  Guest speaker from behaviour team 
  • Relationship building within the group and shared hosting so we see each other's environments
  • Letting ECE’s know point of contact at school

Thank you to Gaylene and her wonderful team at Gardner Road Kindergarten for hosting us for our final 2018 meeting.  We reflected on the year, what we loved, what we could change and talked about what we wanted for next year.  I will publish all our ponderings and ideas on the blog for you soon. I would like to say a very big thank you for the opportunity of being the new entrant teacher voice part of the equation organising these ACCOS meetings.  This is an area of education I am passionate about.  I honestly believe we set not only children up for success but also families into the big area of education and learning.  As I depart the group to go in a different direction, Gaylene will remain as your ECE leader.  Alison will also continue to be the Principal voice in our group.  Your new wonderful primary leader is Elizabeth Moore, new entrant teacher at Kohia Terrace School. Thank you again for this opportunity and I wish the group lots of succe...
