About this Event
Now more than ever before, self assessment information submitted to the NSW Department of Education is critical to the outcome of the Assessment & Rating process. JR Education Consulting Services are the experts in providing you with the tools to put your service in the best possible position to showcase high quality practice through key practice examples in your self assessment information. Our tried and tested methodology for writing to the exceeding themes works; services using our system have consistently achieved an exceeding the NQS rating! We have been inundated with requests for this session to be delivered all over NSW, and we're excited to be bringing this to Wagga in 2025. You'll leave this session confident and ready to to respond to the NSW Department of Education's current approach, which includes:
• an enhanced focus on the service’s self- assessment and Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) as part of its continuous quality improvement, rather than as a point in time preparation for assessment and rating.
• a shorter notice period of 1 - 5 days for most assessment and rating visits.
What does this mean for you?
1. You simply cannot afford to wait for your notice of Assessment and Rating before putting your self-assessment information together.
2. You will need an ongoing, embedded system to maintain up to date information, ready for the Regulatory Authority to review .
3. You need this session! You will learn how to effectively assess your practice against the National Quality Standard, how to identify your strengths and articulate them clearly and succinctly, and how to plan for qualtiy improvement that works for you.
