How to write an exceeding Quality Improvement Plan (QIP)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Your QIP is the MOST IMPORTANT document for your Assessment and Rating.

The ‘Rating Tool’ includes a section for YOUR QIP and the three EXCEEDING themes.

What does this mean for your A&R visit?

• Assessors copy parts of your QIP into their ‘Rating Tool’ and bring it with them on the A&R visit
• Assessors check your practices against your QIP during your A&R visit to rate your centre as working towards, meeting or exceeding
• You need to learn to write an exceeding QIP that shows the three exceeding themes of embedded practice, critical reflection and meaningful engagement with families and community to inform practice
• Remember, a two day visit for A&R isn’t long enough to see all the great things you do. That’s why you need the QIP to showcase your centre.

What shouldn’t be in your QIP?

• The NQS Guide rewritten into your QIP with broad brushstrokes that don’t describe your centre in detail.

If you need help writing your QIP and the NEW Self-Assessment Tool to show the assessor how great your practices are, then book into Centre Support’s QIP writing workshop now.

We will show you how to include the three new exceeding themes for your QIP.

We’ll show you how to personalise your QIP and promote your centre in a positive way so the assessor knows what to expect, who to ask and what to talk about when they visit.

We’ll teach you how to use your educators’ learning documentation as part of your QIP, saving you hours of time and making the process of writing your QIP much easier.
