Ministers statements: early years assessment and learning tool


Ministers statements: early years assessment and learning tool

We know that there is a lot of work that goes into planning and delivering a quality kindergarten program, and this online tool will support early childhood teachers and educators to make high-quality observations about children’s learning and development. It offers structure for critical reflection, helping teachers plan and deliver high-quality learning and play programs that are tailored to the needs of individual children. The early years assessment and learning tool will be rolled out in a phased way from 2023 to 2025, with up to 350 services gaining access in the first tranche from term 1, 2023. I invite services to join the rollout of this innovative and practical tool. It is just one of the many ways that the Andrews Labor government are supporting our early years workforce as we roll out our nation-leading Best Start, Best Life reforms.
