Educators Feedback:

"I just wanted to say thanks so much for the training session. I'd been hoping to come along to in-person training with you for a while and I'm so glad I finally did it. It was so worthwhile. It was a really helpful day that challenged my thinking personally and professionally. I'm really looking forward to putting things into practice and continuing learning." - Eliza Batten

“It was an amazing workshop. The biggest thing that stood out to me was integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources that were authentic to the community and naturally included within experiences, rather than having implementation be a “theme” e.g. NAIDOC week etc. I also loved the comment about anaphylaxis question on an intake form with a clear picture of next steps, whereas ticking a box off for background and culture didn’t have clear explanation as to why info was being gathered.” - Elizabeth Saa

“Honestly there were so many valuable ideas shared by Jessica that I'm very keen to implement in my service. I'm going to look back over my notes with my team to see how we can implement some of these ideas.” - Lamisse Kazzi

“I really appreciate having been given a resource audit as this is something that is easy to implement and helpful to identify gaps within children’s spaces. I also really liked insight into how to program culturally and appropriately for children in an individual way, as well as an achievable way. All of the suggestions are something that can be easily implemented in a big service that I’m in, with ease and no feelings of overwhelming. Which means a great outcome for the children, families and educators in the service. Thank you!” - Emily Claringbold

“I liked the formats used that can be implemented for any families from any backgrounds. Also the planning wall format. I enjoyed the fact that even though the training was geared towards the Aboriginal culture i was thinking that the ideas and meaning behind many aspects can be used for all within the service. I also am now following Koori Curriculum on social media so I can keep myself updated and informed. Thank You” - Linda Triplett

“Definitely going to use the strategies to learn more to develop my confidence in embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachings in the learning environment and culture authentically. I also learned how and when to ask questions and to be sure to do it respectfully and be mindful that everyone is an individual person.” - Claudia The

“Thank you, for the great presentation Jessica! Takeaways include: the Cultural Learning Plan: the session on connecting to community: great suggestions in the resources audit.” - Meli Astri
