Why are you doing the checklist?
The practices identified in the checklist are what the assessor needs to see you do so they can check you’re ‘meeting the NQS.’ If you embed all the things in the checklist, then you are meeting the Element. If there’s something on the checklist that you’re not doing, then you need to either adjust your practice to do it, or ask for help and training to do what’s on the checklist ie work with your educational leader or room leader who should teach/coach you how to do it.
Step 1 Critical Reflection
The EYLF and MTOP say “Critical reflection involves closely examining all aspects of events and experiences from different perspectives.” There is no checklist for critical reflection, it is all about other peoples perspectives.
Select one or more from below or from the checklist to critically reflect upon:
- Do you and your team regularly assess your practice against the service philosophy?
- Would all staff agree you always keep confidential information about children, families and other staff private?
- Would all families and staff agree you’re always polite, respectful and professional when interacting with them or the children?
- Would all staff agree you’re always willing to try new ideas?
QIP’s need to have personalised stories about your practice so the assessor can ask you about why and how you do things. The sentences below can be used for Friday’s QIP writing section. Describe ‘how’ you are putting this question into practice
