Episode 21 : Carrie Rose

Teaching Journey : Connecting through Early Education

Carrie Rose has been in the sector for 35 years and is a founder of The Rose Way consultancy. Carrie spoke about her challenges in her early days as a teacher and with working with people with different dispositions and pedagogical practices. She shared her reflection of her own traits and how it influences her relationship with people, her leadership style and the drive to the continual motivation after 35 years in the sector. And shared her latest passion and advocacy work on the access to quality of education for all children in Australia.

Reflections to ponder for this episode:

What does quality of early education look like to you? What are you seeing in practice at the moment? And do both (your vision and realities) are aligned?

What are you doing in your everyday practice that reflects on your vision of quality early education?

How can you as an early childhood professional close that gap to the quality ratings that we see at the moment?

Where/ how can you access information and expand your knowledge or practices on early education?
