We’re back! COVID-19 threw up many challenges for all of us during 2020, in particular the stress for many in coping with sudden work and life changes. It was with sadness that our annual early childhood conference could not go ahead last year for obvious reasons. However, with 2021 rolling on, the IEU hopes you are healthy, well and ready to get some normality back into your lives.

Welcome to the IEUA NSW/ACT Branch 2021 Early Childhood Conference, We are all in this Together: Support, Resilience, Recognition.

COVID: Due to the evolving situation with COVID restrictions this event may be changed, or may be delivered online via Zoom only. Please register for the event to receive updates.

STEM Hour: Supporting Transitions through Place-Based STEM Learning

When children move between home, early learning, and school, they often face new people and expectations. Children’s confidence in these transitions will depend on whether they feel a strong sense of connection between and belonging in each space — and STEM is a powerful tool to support this.

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.

This workshop explores the fascinating relationship between chemical reactions and language development in early childhood. Come along to learn how to recognise chemistry in children’s everyday lives, find opportunities for age-appropriate chemical exploration, and explore the pedagogy behind language development through STEM inquiry.
