This exciting monthly mini-series, Navigating the NQS, continues with host Simone Brand who draws on 15 years of exceeding-rated leadership experience. In this episode, we explore Standard 1.2 – Practice, focusing on how educators facilitate and extend children's learning. Simone breaks down the three crucial elements: 
1. Intentional Teaching 
2. Responsive Teaching and Scaffolding 
3. Child Directed Learning 

Simone shares actionable ideas, including an inspiring example of children creating a 'secret garden,' and details how all three elements combine to reach the Exceeding NQS rating. She concludes with a critical reflection challenge for your team, pushing you to question if your teaching strategies are articulated, your scaffolding is effective, and if children are making meaningful decisions that genuinely impact the entire service. 

Tune in to transform your daily interactions into dynamic, high-quality practice where educators and children co-construct learning together!
