About the webinar:

The Professional Growth Cycle (PGC) has been a requirement of all early childhood services for some time now, yet it is still something that often overwhelms and confuses centre leaders, mentors, and teachers. This workshop will help to answer some of the questions people have about the PGC:

How does the PGC fit in with internal evaluation and our strategic plan?
Why is it important? What is its purpose?
What are the elements of the PGC?
How do I set up the PGC in a way that is meaningful and helpful for the growth of my teachers?
Who needs to participate in the PGC? What about non-qualified teachers or relievers? What does the PGC look like for our provisionally registered teachers, and how does this fit in with their registration process?

About our facilitator - Sonja Ploeg (InterLEAD)

Sonja has considerable experience in the early childhood sector over the last 20 years including teaching in both community-based preschools and kindergartens. She has a strong knowledge base related to: strengthening and embedding Internal Evaluation and Professional Growth Cycles to promote teacher-led inquiry; growing pedagogical capability and documentation that reflects a localised curriculum; building leadership knowledge and skills to sustain collective leadership and professional community and; developing effective communication strategies to build a positive team culture built on high trust relationships.

A key strength that Sonja brings is in establishing and maintaining authentic professional relationships as she works alongside leaders and teams. Her passion is mentoring others and providing professional learning and development for those who aspire to seek excellence.
