🌟 Exciting News for Early Childhood Educators! 🌟 Every day, parents trust early educators with the most important people in their world, and every day Australia asks educators to do one of the most important jobs imaginable. Today, we are making sure those educators are fairly paid. 💪💰 The Albanese Government will fund a 15% wage increase for Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) workers. This wage increase will be tied to a commitment from Child Care Centres to limit fee increases, ensuring that workers can be fairly paid without passing on the costs to families. 📈💼 Together, we can create a brighter future for our children and ensure that every child has access to quality early education and care. 🎉🌟👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 "Early educators shape lives and change lives. We can never thank them enough for what they do – but we can make sure they are properly valued and fairly paid. Today our Government is doing just that." - Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese 🙌👏👩‍🏫 #EarlyChildhoodEducation #FairPay #Childcare #FutureGenerations #abouttime

CATHOLIC EDUCATION WELCOMES GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT TO INCREASE FUNDING IN 'CHILDCARE DESERTS'. The National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) has welcomed the Albanese government's re-election commitment to invest up to $1 billion in funding to childcare centres in underserved areas, including co-locating services on school sites. “The Building Early Education Fund will bring much-needed childcare services to regions and outer suburbs identified as ‘childcare deserts’ where access has been historically limited,” National Catholic Education executive director Jacinta Collins said. “We welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment that priority will be given to co-locating services on school sites. This is great news for families of Catholic schools as many of our Catholic schools are located in these areas. Co-location ensures continuity in children's learning and aligns with our commitment to making quality early childhood education accessible to all families. Minister for Education Jason Clare has stated ‘we will build more centres to expand access to this essential service in the outer suburbs and the regions to help more Aussie kids benefit from quality early education.’ “By situating preschools within existing schools, children are better prepared for their first year of schooling, reducing the stress of multiple drop-offs for families and offering greater support to working parents dealing with cost-of-living pressures.” The Prime Minister rightly says all children should have guaranteed access high-quality early education and that real change can only happen ‘in the way we as a society think about early education and care – not just a boost for the economy, not just an essential for parents but also a life-changing opportunity for children.’ “We welcome the new three-day guarantee that will allow parents to have guaranteed subsidised early education for their children if they so choose.” The NCEC represents thousands of children and their families in its early childhood and learning centres, with 693 approved services under the National Quality Framework including 417 early childhood education and care (ECEC) services (including centre-based care, occasional care and family care, excluding OSHC). “Early Childhood Education is critical to building the competency and capability of young people, to successfully transition into school. The announcement of the funding today following on from the recent 15 per cent pay rise for early educators is a major step toward a universal early education system and we look forward to working with the government to bring this to fruition.” #catholiceducation #EarlyChildhoodEducation #buildingearlyeducationfund

Did you know that each year at Merge NZ, the number of NZSL students increases by approximately 270%, while the average growth of NZSL teachers each year is only 5%? The shortage of trained NZSL teachers is a cause for concern when it comes to preserving and growing one of New Zealand’s official languages. Find out why this shortage exists, and how Merge NZ is trying to improve this situation, in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gNH3yqAs

Over the past couple of years, our Kāhui Ako has embraced a unified approach to inquiry. Recognising the challenges of working with multiple inquiry models, we collaborated to develop a shared framework that speaks a common language for all schools. Introducing our solution: the NITS Framework. This tool streamlines any inquiry processes, fostering deeper collaboration and enhancing educational outcomes across our community. The NITS Framework is also versatile, allowing schools to integrate it with any existing inquiry model. This ensures that inquiries not only foster deeper conversations but also verify the value and effectiveness of the inquiry itself. Click here to read more about how the NITS Framework can transform your school's inquiry process: https://buff.ly/3W69r4i #Education #NITSFramework #KāhuiAko #InquiryProcess #EducationalInnovation #TeacherCollaboration #StudentOutcomes #NZEducation #ContinuousImprovement #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching

A select group of “model schools” will set the standard for new teaching practices in Victoria as educators work to meet a government deadline to make the switch to explicit instruction methods. La Trobe University’s new Momentum Schools research project will investigate how best to support this change, linking schools that have successfully adopted explicit instruction with others just starting the transition. More than 80 schools have expressed interest in the program since its launch in August. La Trobe University's Dean of Education, Professor Joanna Barbousas, said the response showed many schools were keen to adopt new practices but were uncertain about where to begin. “They’re telling us they want to make the change, but it’s very hard to know what steps to take next,” Professor Barbousas says. “This mandate has the power to change the way we educate our children for the better, but schools need consistency and guidance to ensure that the change is producing quality teaching and improved student outcomes." By following the example of “hub schools” in the UK, La Trobe hopes to support meaningful school-wide change as schools adopt explicit instruction practices. This research is funded by the Bertalli Foundation, which donated $2.5 million over five years to the University's science of learning programs to provide evidence of the benefits to schools. Over the project’s three-year lifetime, researchers hope to track the rollout of explicit instruction practices and expand its adoption across the school years, including secondary.

🌟 Client Spotlight: The National Association of Australian Teachers of the Deaf (NAATD) 🌟 We're thrilled to showcase our recent work with NAATD, a professional body that has been advocating for Teachers of the Deaf since 1935. 🎓 The Challenge: NAATD was managing three outdated websites, making it difficult to maintain and update their online presence. They needed a solution that would bring everything together and allow their organisation to shine. Our Solution:  ✅ We consolidated their three websites into one cohesive platform. ✅ Redesigned and redeveloped the site to highlight the incredible individuals within NAATD. ✅ Simplified the sitemap and content structure to ensure easy navigation. ✅ Built a secure, easy-to-maintain members' area with custom resource libraries. ✅ Created a custom interactive map, connecting users with state-specific branches. The result? A modern, user-friendly website that helps NAATD continue their important work in supporting educators across Australia.  Check out their new site here: naatd.com.au For more information about our services: https://lnkd.in/grEBpuA #ClientSuccess #WebDesign #DigitalTransformation #AdventureDigital #TeachersOfTheDeaf #NonProfitWebDesign
