Professionalism in practice
Professional development for early childhood and OSHC professionals
Developing a professional culture is part of our obligations under the National Quality Framework – but how many educators could articulate what it means in day-to-day practice? Our professionalism in practice packages will support your team to explore what a culture of professionalism in early childhood and OSHC looks like, and learn ways to ensure your collaboration and communication meets professional standards.
