    In this episode host Katey Street sits down with Rhonda Livingstone, the National Educational Leader for a chat about the updates to the Approved Learning Frameworks.

    About this podcast:

    This episode is part of a short series produced by the Office of the Children's Guardian and funded by the NSW Department of Education, the NSW regulatory authority for early childhood education and care services in NSW as part of its Safety and Quality Practice program.

    Katey and Rhonda discuss the background of how and why the Frameworks for Early Education and Care; Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF) and My Time, Our Place: The Framework for School Age Care in Australia, were updated. They also explore how children's voices and choices were promoted during the development of the Approved Learning Frameworks to ensure that children are supported to become active participants in their learning.

    About our speaker:

    Rhonda Livingstone is ACECQA's National Educational Leader. She also leads the teams responsible for promoting and recognising quality educational programs, practices and policies. Rhonda and her team support the sector and regulatory officers to build a shared understanding of, and commitment to, implementing and administering the National Quality Framework (NQF) and continuous quality improvement.

    Rhonda's extensive involvement in the National Quality Agenda reforms saw her contribute to the development of the National Quality Standard and its guide, assessment and rating tools and processes, the training and testing program for regulatory officers and the refresh of the nationally Approved Learning Framworks.

    This episode was recorded and edited on Gadigal land. The NSW Department of Education and the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian recognise that the land we work and live on always was and always will be Aboriginal land, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
