Kindergarten teachers' work and a new quality agenda
![[img]](https://eprints.qut.edu.au/secure/style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png)
Description
This institutional ethnography examines kindergarten teachers' work during rapid policy change that addressed new quality improvement agendas. Policy restructures heralded the transition to a national Early Years Learning Framework and a National Quality Framework for Australian early childhood education and care services. Teachers' accounts highlighted their reorientation of work practices to manage the pressures of accountability and production of evidence connected to the discourse of quality improvement articulated in Australian early childhood education and care policy. The transition to increased governance contributed to disjunctures between policy implementation and the experiences of enacting policy.
