More than a Glance: Reflective & Responsive Supervision

More than a Glance: Reflective & Responsive Supervision is a practical and engaging two-hour professional development session designed to strengthen educators’ knowledge and confidence in supervision practices. This workshop unpacks the regulatory compliance requirements and the National Quality Standard (NQS) expectations around supervision, while building a deeper understanding of what it means to be actively present, responsive, and reflective in your daily practice.

Through interactive discussions and real-world scenarios, educators will explore the critical role of team communication, collaboration, and reflective practice in keeping children safe while supporting their learning and development. The session also considers the balance between safety and opportunity, with a focus on understanding risky play and developing risk assessments that empower children’s growth. Educators will leave with practical strategies to implement immediately, ensuring supervision goes beyond a glance—becoming intentional, collaborative, and responsive.
