ASSESSMENT & RATING: STRENGTHENING OUR APPROACH TO MEETING QUALITY STANDARDS

Dear Educators,

The Assessment and Rating (A&R) process is about displaying the wonderful pedagogy and practice that happens in our services every day. It is something every service will participate in and because it doesn’t happen very often, we understand that it can be a confronting process for educators.

To ensure you understand the A&R process, we have implemented various support systems, including:

  • Specific A&R staff meetings;
  • Support visits from Regional Managers, Educational Leaders and Education and Care Leadership Team; and
  • Regular involvement in the development and implementation of policies and procedures.

If you have any questions about the A&R process, please speak with your Team Leader or Service Manager.


WELCOME TO THE EDUCATION AND CARE LEADERSHIP TEAM

We recently welcomed Kellie Watson to the Education and Care Leadership Team (ECLT) in a new project role. Many of you will know Kellie from her previous work within LGT education and care services and her contributions to the Learning, Development & Innovation (LD&I) team. In her new role, she will be working closely with the ECLT, Service Managers and services to support key projects aligned with our strategic direction. Kellie brings a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience in education and care, and I know her insights will be valuable as we continue to strengthen and improve our work with children.

After Easter, we will also welcome Ben Kikkert to the team as Regional Manager for our Southern Long Day Care Services. Ben has extensive experience working in the education and care sector in Tasmania, as Director at another provider and most recently with the Department for Education, Children and Young People in the Education and Care Unit. Ben’s skills, knowledge and experience in delivering quality, inclusive and safe education and care will greatly enhance the work of our teams in achieving LGT’s quality and strategic priorities. 

Many thanks,
Miffy Wedd
GENERAL MANAGER – EDUCATION AND CARE
