Refresh your knowledge of the QKLG 2024
Our QKLG 2024 familiarisation and planning resources help you use the QKLG 2024 in your everyday planning and teaching.
These resources include a self-paced learning package that explains the updated guideline, explores how children’s learning develops over time, and supports you to use the guideline in your planning.
New Kindergarten research insights
Our latest research insights article, written by Chrystal Whiteford at Queensland University of Technology, explores how everyday experiences can build children’s mathematical understanding.
This article discusses how to:
- use activities like mealtimes, water play and sand play to build children’s early mathematical understandings
- intentionally introduce and model mathematical language
- support children to compare, estimate and problem-solve
- ask questions and use storytelling to improve children’s understanding of mathematical concepts.
Get ahead by updating your portal access
The start of the year is a perfect opportunity to ensure your staff access and roles are up to date in the Kindergarten Transition Statement (KTS) app. If you’re an Access Management Administrator for your organisation:
- Log into your QCAA Portal account and complete access administrator tasks, including removing staff who no longer work for you and adding new staff.
- Confirm which staff require access to the KTS app and that their roles are correctly assigned
- Seek parent/carer consent to create transition statements in the QCAA Portal.
You can find instructions, tips and guidelines to support you with these updates on our transition statements webpages.
Contribute to the QCAA website review
We are reviewing and updating the QCAA website to better support school and kindergarten communities. Our aim is to refresh the content and improve usability and accessibility.
Let us know what works well and what we can improve by completing a short survey by Friday 27 February.
