Event Description
What does ‘being an early childhood professional’ mean now you have the job?
Presented by
Philip Butler
You’ve started the job, now it’s time to grow into the profession. This webinar helps you understand what professionalism really means in early childhood and how to live it every day.
You’ve completed your studies, landed the role and you’re discovering what it really means to be an educator. But what does it actually mean to be a professional educator? Beyond frameworks, ratios and routines, there is a deeper layer to the work that shapes how we show up, how we communicate and how we hold ourselves in the everyday moments.
This webinar explores what professionalism looks like in action. We will unpack the difference between having a chat and holding a professional conversation, how personal values meet professional expectations, and how integrity and respect drive quality practice.
You will discover how professionalism is not just about what you know, but how you bring it to life through your choices, your language and your relationships with children, families and colleagues. When educators carry themselves with confidence and purpose, it lifts everyone around them and strengthens the entire sector.
