In an effort to clarify what is, and is not, required for compliance, the IEU has recently engaged with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) and the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority, (ACECQA) to develop fact sheets that clarify the policy intentions of the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework in schools, (the ATPDF) and the Educational Program documentation needed to satisfy the requirements of the Assessment and Ratings process in Early Childhood Education and Care settings.
