Preparing With Purpose For Your Next ERO Visit

This unique, interactive workshop, led by Bev Trim, a highly experienced ECE Professional Development mentor, will demystify the process and help you turn preparation into opportunity for growth. Guided by Katina Beauchamp, in a dynamic Q&A format, you will explore how you could refine strategies, build useful evidence, and align meaningful practices with ERO’s expectations.

Together we will:

• begin with an honest look at readiness: how prepared is your centre, informed by your values, principles, and local community? ERO resources, jargon & the review process is also outlined.
• dive into the Improvement Framework - ERO’s key tool for evaluation - and explore how it connects to Te Whāriki’s Learning Outcomes.
• consider practical strategies for documenting children’s learning progression, and how to show evidence that is authentic, time-efficient, and meaningful for your team and families.
• Use literacy as a practical case study, using tools like internal evaluation and strategic planning with specific suggestions can help you to strengthen your focus and provide you with a roadmap.

No matter where you are on the preparedness spectrum, you’ll walk away with practical insights and the confidence to approach your next ERO visit with clarity and purpose. Don’t wait for the notification from ERO to start preparing, get ahead and sharpen your strategies by attending this essential workshop with Bev Trim and the Early Childhood Council.
