To support inclusion in early childhood education and care (ECEC), we have engaged ACECQA to develop an Inclusive Practice Framework.
The Inclusive Practice Framework is a professional development resource that will:
- strengthen ECEC service’s capability to embed inclusive practices
- better support children and families experiencing barriers to access and participation.
The framework will do this by:
- helping ECEC services reflect on current inclusive practices and plan for ongoing improvement
- supporting the identification of emerging areas of inclusive practice
- complementing state and territory initiatives and other high-quality resources.
Over the next 12 months, ACECQA will develop and trial the framework. ACECQA will collaborate with:
- ECEC educators
- ECEC providers and services
- national peak associations
- sector organisations
- expert practitioners.
A consortium between Griffith University, Macquarie University and Queensland University of Technology will support ACECQA to develop the framework.
