This article explores how a template in documentation of preschool systematic quality development work acts to produce elements of quality. Assuming that documentation produces rather than represents preschool quality, and using a post-humanist agential realist perspective, the article shows how thematic work, care and education become elements of quality. But by turning care into a theme, education and care run the risk of being dichotomised, and care downplayed. The article concludes that when producing rather than looking back on and evaluating preschool quality, documentation has the potential to serve as a vantage point for preschool actors to discuss where they might be going and to think around qualities rather than quality.

Abstract This presentation will focus on AGHE’s evolving discussions on gerontological and geriatric programming. The earliest discussion resulted in development of the first edition of the standards and guidelines for programs in 1989. In 2014, the AGHE Academic Program Development Committee (APDC) created new core competencies for gerontological education. Currently, members from both the AGHE APDC and Advancement Subcommittees are collaborating on revising the AGHE Standards and Guidelines (6th edition, 2015) to align with competencies. This presentation will discuss the new and improved version (draft available in November 2020). First, presenters will review points regarding how this update will aid in Accreditation for Gerontology Education Council and Program of Merit self-study program reviews. Secondly, the presenters will explain how the revision will increase gerontological education program integrity. Lastly, the presenters will explain how this update will be consistent with the trend across institutions utilizing these competencies in gerontological and geriatric education. Part of a symposium sponsored by the Geriatric Education Interest Group.
