Withdrawing as RTO

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 01:32:39 GMT

Closing a chapter: Rowe Training and Consulting’s journey

It's with a heavy heart that I share with you that Rowe Training and Consulting is no longer an RTO. That is we will no longer be delivering or assessing students/trainees in gaining their qualifications.

It’s been an incredible ride, with many moments of joy, excitement, often overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, and invaluable learning for our small team. 18 years its been a big part of my life.

To all our students/trainees and services/centres and other supporters: Thank you. Your belief and trust in us has been the driving force behind our every step. We have been committed to ensuring a smooth transition for any ongoing Trainee’s wishing you all the best. To our dedicated small team, now and all past staff. Your passion and hard work have been the core of our journey. I’m grateful beyond words for every moment.

While this chapter ends for myself and Rowe Training, the bonds and memories created will endure. I’ll always be a dedicated supporter of ECEC in the NT.

I’m eternally grateful to everyone that was involved especially my family.

Here’s to all of our followers for a amazing future in your Career in ECEC.

Audrey and myself enjoyed being able to personally deliver the last couple of qualifications before Christmas.

Workplace Supervisors - needing support?

We are always looking for your feedback and so we have been looking at the Workplace Supervisors Guide and reviewing it for next year. Only to find when asking for feedback that a number of Supervisors are very stressed, have no time, and are over trying to support their Trainee’s.

This made me start thinking how is it that some Supervisors are finding everything going well and others are not.

"So I found out what’s working"

Set up a relationship at the beginning.
Ensure the Trainee has access to everything electronically they need at the Centre e.g. policies and procedures, job descriptions, ECA Code of Ethics etc.
Set aside a time every fortnight be it 15 or 20 minutes to check in.
After induction continue to role model behaviours that you want the Trainee to adopt and acknowledge when they do.
Set up a list of tasks to demonstrate at least 3 times, things like supervision, safety checks, food safety, hand washing etc. ( Ask the trainer for an example of tasks that align with each Module the Trainee is learning)
Remember its not only children that learn by making mistakes.
Ask the Trainee what they have learnt not what assessment are they working on.
Give the Trainee’s acknowledgment often (every week)
When the Trainee has a question about a Written Assessment or a Workplace Task always the first reply is what are you thinking? And the second reply is have you checked all your learning resources or asked the trainer for an example of what they are looking for in that task?
Take up some coaching for yourself

What is Workplace Training and Coaching

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:50:02 GMT

Coaching & Mentoring versus standard workplace training

We have been looking at the research on how Educators learn best and which training models suit ECEC and have been successful interstate.

Specifically at the Gowrie in Victoria.

This has led us to taking on a formal Coaching approach with all our Trainees and their Supervisors.

So what's is the difference between standard Workplace Training and Workplace Coaching/Mentoring and Training

What is standard workplace training, the trainer comes to see the Trainee on the job mainly to support assessment and complete assessment. And the Trainee is often left to complete most of the learning themselves with the Centre. And as there are no classes some Trainees mistakenly feel they have gained all the knowledge and skills they need. But the research is showing that those that have trained that way may be missing out on gaining the knowledge and understanding the complexities of Child Development or to be able to fully develop the skills to implement the EYLF practices.

Effective coaching begins with developing relationships with Trainees and Supervisors/Services. Taking a strengths based approach supporting Educators to set SMART goals. We will identify strengths, existing knowledge and expertise as well as opportunities for growth. We then look at what strategies will work best for the individuals. This could take shape as reflective conversations, role modelling, instructional demonstrations, researching and learning together and supporting the learning through questioning and positive feedback. Does this sound familiar? Our coaching methodology has similarities of Intentional teaching strategies a s defined in the NQF. These strategies are supported by adult learning theories.

Are you reflecting on your Program in the lead up to Christmas?

Read this article from The Spoke to get your discussions started.

"Being a professional requires you to exercise pedagogical judgment—every day. It does seem though we now have a ‘Christmas’ curriculum and it starts early.’ Karen Hope encourages educators to reflect on more than just the art and craft of Christmas in early childhood settings."
