When Collaboration Is Real, Everything Changes.

What if your entire service moved with a shared rhythm?
What if decisions weren’t top‑down or isolated — but co‑constructed with children and across your team

What if your philosophy wasn’t just written on the wall, but visible in every interaction, conversation, and learning story?

A truly collaborative environment is more than teamwork. It is a culture where learning, decision‑making, and relationships are co-constructed by children and adults — grounded in shared responsibility, mutual respect, and collective meaning-making.

In this full-day, in-person professional learning session, Anthony invites educators to move beyond working alongside one another and toward building a strong, intentional culture where collaboration is visible, lived, and sustained across the whole service.

Across the day, we will explore:

• Shared Vision and Values
• Relationships Built on Trust and Respect
• Shared Power and Decision-Making
• A Culture of Professional Learning

Grounded in the Queensland Kindy Uplift priority areas, by the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Articulate and apply a shared philosophy and common pedagogical language that guides decision-making across the service.

Kindy Uplift link: Quality teaching and intentional practice; Leadership and capability building.

Identify practical strategies to build respectful, collaborative relationships with children, colleagues, and families — strengthening psychological safety and participation.

Kindy Uplift link: Strong relationships and wellbeing; Partnerships with families and communities.

Develop approaches for involving children in meaningful decision-making about learning, environments, projects, and routines.

Kindy Uplift link: Equity and inclusion; High expectations for every child.

Utilise collaborative inquiry practices (observing, theorising, reflecting) to strengthen continuous improvement and collective accountability for outcomes.

Kindy Uplift link: Using evidence to improve outcomes; Reflective practice and continuous improvement.

Ideal for:

• kindergarten teachers and educators

• educational leaders, directors, and pedagogical leaders
• teams seeking stronger consistency, shared language, and collaborative culture

A collaborative learning culture doesn’t happen by accident — it’s co-constructed.
