"Be That Teacher Who Makes A Difference & Lead Aboriginal Education For All Students" By Kylie Captain
Are you a teacher who wants to make a difference?
Are you passionate about ensuring Aboriginal education is taught authentically in Australian schools?
As Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educators, Gamilaroi woman and educator Kylie Captain and Associate Professor Cathie Burgess share their knowledge, wisdom, and insight into the transformational power of education and the difference teachers play in each student's ability to achieve.
Cathie was that teacher for Kylie, and now, as educational leaders at varying stages of their careers, they reflect on their experience in the hope of inspiring all educators to never stop believing in their students.
As leaders in Aboriginal education and President and Vice President of the Aboriginal Studies Association, Kylie and Cathie share their expertise to equip educators with the knowledge, skills and confidence to respectfully and authentically teach Aboriginal histories and cultures to all students.
Their individual and collective journey in Aboriginal education has put them in a unique position to influence others to lead and teach from a place of passion and purpose.
They inspire others to focus on their 'why' by sharing their challenging but always rewarding journey of personal and educational discovery.
As the world's longest living and surviving culture, they believe that all Australians can learn from and celebrate Aboriginal histories and cultures.
This book is a testament to the power of education and the difference a teacher can have in the trajectory of a student's life.
