Workshop on the ECCE Teacher Competency Framework for the Pacific: Working together for Teacher Professionalism in ECCE
The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education (UNESCO Bangkok), UNICEF Pacific and Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts (MoEHA) Fiji, will co-organize a Workshop on the ECCE Teacher Competency Framework for the Pacific: Working together for Teacher Professionalism in ECCE from 20 to 22 November 2018 in Nadi, Fiji. This workshop is supported by the UNESCO-Malaysia Funds-in-Trust Cooperation scheme (MFIT).
Under the framework of the project ECCE Teacher Development in Southeast Asia (SEA) and the Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), UNESCO Bangkok and PRCE4ECCE in collaboration with USP and MoEHA, Fiji supported the development of the ECCE Teacher Competency Framework for the Pacific SIDS. The framework aims to enhance the professionalization and capacity development of ECCE teachers in the Pacific SIDS by providing comprehensive descriptions of knowledge, skills, practices and dispositions that ECCE teachers in the Pacific SIDS need to support the holistic development of a child.
The main objectives of this workshop are to present the final ECCE Teacher Competency Framework for the Pacific SIDS; review and reflect on the ECCE Teacher Competency Framework, identifying and discussing noteworthy practices, lessons learnt and remaining challenges among the Pacific SIDS; and draft country roadmaps with advocacy plans for the adoption and implementation of the framework in strengthening pre-primary teacher training, including through strengthened teacher training curricula and teacher management policies.
