Early Childhood Australia has a particular link to inclusion, under this tab they have their statement in supporting all students and providing access to all students. They have recently launched Early Years Connect in 2016 in partnership with C&K and Autism Queensland. It is a professional developmental package that helps early childhood educators care and work with children with the many learning delays and disabilities that are out there.
“Early Years Connect provides information, advice and connections to help early childhood education and care educators in Queensland to support children with complex additional needs. When we work together—educators, children, families and other professionals—we can provide children with the best start in life” (Early Childhood Austrailia, 2017).
They also have links to many texts to help support educators and even parents in supporting these amazing young students. A number of resources on this one site are incredible, every link I click has plenty of other reliable links to support their thoughts and practices for all early childhood students in Australia. I also viewed their webinar page and saw the many topics that they cover, they also have subscriptions to play a flat rate which allows you to join any webinar in the 12 month period.
This website is one that I will bookmark, the amount of content on these links and even their blog are so thought out. It allows educators from all over the world to come together and see what our differences and similarities are in the early childhood classroom.

ReplyDeleteNicole,
ReplyDeleteI looked at this website as well. It is great! There are so many good resources associated with this link. I think their motto is great and a site that could be a learning resource for the US.
Your post was very informational and I am very excited to check it out. I think it is amazing that they are helping teachers to help take care of children with various special needs. Being in the early childhood field for many years I have seen these children struggle and the teachers who care for them as well. Most teachers do not have the proper training nor education that is needed to properly care for children of various special needs. I enjoy reading great resources that can not only benefit myself but also other teachers.
