Role Modelling/Consultancy Service Visits

PSCWA have identified a need for change in delivering customised support in 2010. PSCWA will be encouraging services to attend Calendar PD workshops, instead of organising additional customised evening PD sessions at individual services. PSCWA will now be offering child care services who access and attend a Calendar Professional Development workshop the opportunity to request a individual consultancy visit at their service as a follow up during the day with the same facilitator that facilitated the Professional Development workshop. The focus of this support is for the facilitator to provide role modelling with early childhood educators on the floor and therefore directly linking theory to practice.

PSCWA have decided to offer this type of support because of recent research that has identified the importance of continual learning and the ability to apply newly learnt skills to enhance positive outcomes for children and families.
