from the result.
During implementation stage, keep a record of your choices.
 Assess the activities of improvement
Examine if the improvement is providing the results you expected; are any adjustments
necessary, or should a different improvement be utilized instead?
39
Inspections, evaluations, as well as surveys may all be used to measure progress. Record
the methodology and outcomes of the assessment. Take it slowly; smaller stages may
provide greater outcomes.
 Ways to standardize the system

Reflection on QIP Processes
Reflection on your knowledge and role in the process:
I have greatly contributed towards children’s group and get feedback on group activities facilitating
communication, learning as well as listening regarding quality improvement plan. I also act as a mentoring
advisor that provided instructions about what to do at each point?. Being acting as a planner, I guide children
as well as parents for contributing towards quality improvement process.
Reflection on the process of assessing and planning for quality improvement:
 Hearing parents' as well as child's perspectives about quality

 Improving what is conducted to improve the greatest possible result for children
 Creating a defined vision as well as sense of goal
 Applying expertise as well as a dedication to continuous professional growth
Questions and suggestions for consideration in the future:
 What am I thinking about each child?

 What ideas, ideologies, as well as perspectives influence and aid my job?
 If I perform in this manner, who suffers? Who has the upper hand?
 What am I up against? What am I interested in learning more about?

Research and describe two resources / support networks / websites you could access and use that will
assist in developing ideas and best practices:
I assist governments in putting the National Quality Framework into action. The Australian Children's
Education and Care Quality Authority is a government-run body that manages the care and education of
children in Australia.
