What you will learn

Gain contemporary skills and knowledge in the implementation of 3a teaching strategies.

Research has shown that the positive impact of early childhood education lies in the nature, quality and consistency of interactions between educators, and/or carers, and children.

The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) is a set of practical, evidence-based teaching strategies that enhance the quality of interactions with young children and support child development and learning. It is proven to have a positive impact on child, educator and family outcomes, with lasting change in children’s lives both before and after they start school.

Research has further shown that children’s learning is advanced when the 3a teaching strategies are implemented frequently and with fidelity. In turn, effective implementation of 3a strategies is enhanced when educators are supported by regular coaching. These coaching sessions are for certified 3a Practitioners wanting to effectively implement the 3a strategies into their educational programs so to advance young children’s learning outcomes.

The coaching sessions will support 3a practitioners to effectively:

• Implement 3a teaching strategies as intended (with fidelity)
• Plan and embed the 3a teaching strategies into educational programs plans
• Plan and embed the 3a strategies in learning plans for individual children
• Share the 3a strategies with families and carers to use in the home learning environment.
