Professional Learning Guide

At Early Childhood Australia (ECA) we believe that professional learning should meet your needs as an educator. This includes face-to-face events and conferences, live online events, printed publications and magazines, and online modules, webinars and webcasts. All content produced by ECA is reviewed and undergoes rigorous quality-assurance processes, ensuring you will have evidenced-based tools and resources that inspire quality. In this issue we are pleased to present an overview of some of ECA’s professional learning, including online modules and webinars, publications and printed resources, and events. We hope that this breadth of resources is beneficial for you and your teams. Our work is mapped to the National Quality Standard (NQS)—as this may help you in your considerations.
