Are you a teacher or educator joining or returning to the Victorian early childhood sector? Or do you have someone joining your service and need to plan their induction?

Gowrie Victoria is offering free coaching packages in 2024, on behalf of the Victorian Department of Education, to existing early childhood teachers and educators who might be returning to the sector from extended leave, or from working in primary education, or those joining the Victorian ECE workforce from interstate or overseas.

The program, which looks at the specific needs of the teacher or educator, includes both face-to-face and online coaching sessions, with a variety of individualised packages of 10, 15 or 20 hours.

Consultant Julie London is one of the team of coaches at Gowrie Victoria and says each coach is as diverse as the people and services they work with. “Each, however, is a highly experienced early childhood professional,” she says. “We get what’s happening for you… We understand what the current day-to-day complexities are, and we bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals.”

The coaching program is designed to complement induction and orientation at the individual’s own service and support them to reflect and feel connected as they join, or re-join the sector.
