Your participation in the NSW Early Education Leaders Peer Network can contribute to your NESA hours as Elective PD.

NESA Elective PD must meet the Australian professional teaching standards at the applicable accreditation level and be selected from the list of approved Elective PD activities. The Elective PD recorded for your maintenance of accreditation requirements must also address specified Elective PD criteria guidelines.

CELA has reviewed these guidelines for the Early Education Leaders Peer Network initiative and have aligned this initiative with;

• Standard 7 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, ‘Professional Engagement Standard 7 – Engage Professionally with colleagues, parents, carers and the community’, specifically;
• 7.4 Engage with professional teaching networks and broader communities.
