Mid-Year Reception Conversations Professional Development

Tuesday 6 August 2024

Room 7 CESA Conference Centre

9:00 am - 3:00 pm

This Professional Learning Day offered by CESA explores the practices and principles that recognise the importance of continuity of learning and relationships for children in the first years of school as foundations for success in schooling and later life.

Mid-Year Reception leaders and teachers are invited to collaborate with colleagues to consider the theories which underpin their view of the child, family, and educator.

Facilitators will discuss current Mid-Year Reception models, the neuroscience of the brain, EYLF & the Australian Curriculum, and supporting students with diverse needs in learning and development. Opportunities to work alongside, and build networks with, colleagues is an important part of the day.
