02.01.2022 The feedback from our Practicalities of Documentation session indicated that teaching teams are looking forward to taking time to really think about what is relevant for themselves and their families, in their services. For some this may mean different ways of thinking and doing, finding ways to ensure that everyone is contributing to the program and outcomes for children. It was heartening to read how many participants feel more informed - and a little more relaxed now.

02.01.2022 It's so exciting to see the workshop is full!

01.01.2022 Here's some glimpes of educators' arrangements during Lisa's workshop last Saturday... What thinking can you see? Problem solving? Inhibitory control? Flexible thinking?

We're looking forward to leading this workshop again on March 24 at Springwood Community Kindy. Very limited spaces left.
