Being a Nominated Supervisor or service Director in an early education and care service is a complex and challenging role. Feeling assured that you have the knowledge and skills to undertake all elements of your role is vital. 

The Director’s Toolkit explores the responsibilities of a Nominated Supervisor or Director - for those who are new to the position as well as those interested in refreshing their knowledge and approach.  It will also enable you to engage with others in the same position. 

Each session explores an aspect of the Director’s Role. Participants can choose the session that meets their current needs, dip into one session or attend all 6 for a comprehensive look at the role and responsibilities. 

Directors Toolkit - Family and Community Partnerships

Quality Area 6 of the NQS focuses on Family and community partnerships. How as a Director do you develop positive relationships with your families and the wider community? Does your community know you exist?

Others sessions in the Directors Toolkit suite includes;

- Compliance & Quality

- Leadership & Advocacy

- Working with Management; Planning & Policy

- The Team; Staff Relationships

NB 14/12/2020: On 30 November 2020, the endorsement of all NESA endorsed providers was cancelled and registered courses were deregistered. A new policy for the Accreditation of Professional Development courses was released. The new application processes will be published and phased in during 2021. In line with this, CELA will submit an application for our courses to be re-assessed and re-accredited.

After 5 February 2021, courses will need to be accredited to continue contributing towards the maintenance of teacher accreditation requirements. CELA will continue to keep you informed and updated based on information that is progressively received from NESA regarding this re-accreditation process.
