Developing And Using a Quality Practice Template

Creating and using a Quality Practice Template is a vital step toward building a high-quality early learning environment, setting clear and consistent standards for all teachers in your ECE community.

Write your awesome label here.

In New Zealand, all Certificated Teachers must meet the standards for the teaching profession as outlined by the New Zealand Teaching Council. As the Council explains:

"Completing the Quality Practice Template allows you and your colleagues to identify the standards as quality practices unique to your setting. This process not only provides assurance for each teacher on how to demonstrate the Standards in daily practice but also makes it easier to spot naturally occurring evidence. This evidence opens up valuable discussions about how standards, teacher practices, and learner outcomes connect, helping you see what works well in your environment."
