With the introduction of Pre-Prep as part of the Best Start, Best Life reforms, team teaching approaches can help some services to offer a 30-hour kindergarten program.
The 2026 Embedding Team Teaching Program has been designed for services delivering a state-funded kindergarten program that may be facing changes or challenges or need support to adapt their practice to deliver the increased program hours.
About the program
The program will help teams of early childhood teachers develop, refine and embed team teaching approaches. This program will build capacity through a multi-tiered coaching model and access to an evidence-based learning program. It will support teachers to extend their practice, explore new ways of working and build a strong culture of collaboration.
Drawing on an in-service coaching model, the program offers different levels of support to services over a 2 to 12-week period, with in-service and online coaching delivered by Monash University.
To apply, refer to: Embedding Team Teaching Program. Applications close Sunday 30 November 2025.
