EEB427 Leading Early Childhood

Assignment 2 requires you to develop a staff development plan to implement in either your current workplace or a workplace in which you have previously undertaken practicum, casual or voluntary work. It requires you to work with a minimum of two staff, one of which can be you, to develop the Individual goal setting and Individual development plans. It then requires you to draw together common ideas/themes for the whole staff to devise an Action plan that is relevant for the staff as a team. The purpose of developing the staff development plan is to take a ground-up approach to support the professional learning of staff and ultimately improve the quality of the children’s experiences. This assignment is not about training as staff development goes beyond that notion. It is about developing increased levels of professional competence.

Part A
