Professional development

For 2002, early childhood professional development providers will continue to offer national opportunities for all early childhood teachers. The professional development teams will continue to focus on the implementation of: Te Whāriki; the DOPs; Including Everyone: Te Reo Tātaki: Meeting Special Education Needs in Early Childhood; and The Quality Journey: He Haerenga Whai Hua.

The Ministry intends to encourage professional development programmes that reflect the key government policy directions. These programmes will include a focus on quality pedagogical practice, on early literacy and mathematics, on effective personnel management, and on kaupapa Māori in mainstream early childhood education.
