Fran Hurworth & Dave Mudford

Education Managers

Heretaunga Kindergartens has two Education Managers. These Managers are qualified and experienced practitioners who are employed primarily to give professional support and guidance to the teachers in kindergartens.

They visit kindergartens and provide practical, professional in centre support to individuals and teams. They help facilitate processes of reflection and development for teachers and give practical and academic support to develop and enhance teaching practice.

Education Managers also liaise between teachers and management of the Kindergarten Association when this is required and also represent teaching staff on various working groups and sub committees in the early childhood sector such as the EIT advisory group.

Education Managers will supervise teachers through registration processes, working along side teachers giving professional support and guidance.

All teachers with the Heretaunga Kindergartens must either hold a certificate of full registration or be working towards registration.

Teachers will be supported as they work through the two year registration period, with workshops and a professional, individualised advice and guidance programme
