Description

Term Four Early Childhood Network Meeting. Join us for an afternoon of networking and information sharing with AISWA member schools Early Childhood educators. 

The AECD (Australian Early Development Census) data highlights an increase in children who are entering school developmentally vulnerable in social competence. Considering this how can we as early childhood educators break down cultural barriers to support effective transition to school? What does intercultural transition, from home to formal schooling, look like at your school? AISWA Consultant Maree Whiteley will explore how learning can be enhanced for all children in a multicultural setting.
