Abstract

Join leaders in early education in a panel discussion about what learning looks like over the first 12 years of life and how Australian education systems are supporting children to have the best start in life. The panel is made up of leading policymakers and the discussion will focus on how the way we monitor learning has changed over time. A key focus will be the current Preschool Reform Agenda and changes in each jurisdiction to monitor the value-add of early childhood programs. There will be opportunities to ask questions about how reforms may affect the practice of educators and the information they communicate to school teachers. Are there ways we can communicate more effectively and ensure all children are on a positive learning trajectory no matter where they start or where they are when they transition into preschool or into school?
