Kindergarten research insights
Promoting cultural diversity in early childhood education
Our latest two-part research insights series is by Dr Somayeh Ba Akhlagh from the University of New England. It explores how early childhood teachers and leaders can help children recognise, respect and appreciate diversity.
- Part 1 shares strategies for early childhood teachers to promote cultural diversity. These include celebrating cultural events, creating a culturally safe classroom, and challenging bias and discrimination.
- Part 2 shifts focus to leadership, organisational culture and community partnerships. It explores how sustained, system-wide change can embed cultural diversity in early childhood education.

New resources
Explore our suite of transition statement resources, covering how to review evidence, make judgments and use the QCAA Portal.
Examples of practice
We have two new videos to help you prepare for transition statements. Use the video reflection resource (link above each video) to prompt professional discussions and capture what you've learned.
The video Reviewing evidence to make judgments at the time of transition shows one teacher’s experience of using evidence to make judgments on the continua of learning when she’s creating transition statements. Watch to get tips for your own practice.
The video Reviewing learning priorities in kindergarten gives you a practical example of using the QKLG to create individual goals for children, based on their skills, interests and preferred ways of learning. It explores how regularly reviewing each child's progress and working with their families can help you decide on the next steps for their learning.
How to use the KTS app to create transition statements
Our KTS app page has everything you need to know to create transition statements, from getting parent/carer consent to creating and sharing the statement with schools.
It includes a suite of resources to support you with transition statements, including:
- a help guide for access administrators
- guides for creating, submitting and deleting transition statements
- examples of transition statements
- links to helpful videos.
