Term 4 Meeting - what we loved, what we could do better and what we want in 2019...

-

What we loved in 2018...

• that these meetings are in existence (networking)
connection with ECE and new entrant professionals/understanding
expectations (linking the partnership)
• different locations (great to see other schools)
• seeing how different schools/ECEs work
• interest/value in each others sectors
• focusing evenings around a topic/PD
• time to talk about topics in smaller groups

What we could do better...

  • name tags and logging who comes to meetings
  • increased use of blog and sharing interesting readings/articles,
  • (or do we switch to a private Facebook page?)
  • hosting at ECEs (not just schools)
