When embedding Aboriginal perspectives, educators can be overwhelmed and anxious as they're so worried about doing the wrong thing that it becomes debilitating.
In this course, Jess wants to build your cultural confidence and capacity to find ways that you can meaningfully and respectfully include Aboriginal perspectives in your everyday programming curriculum. When talking about embedding Aboriginal perspectives, it is a multifaceted approach.
It is not just about creating a cultural corner but sprinkling Aboriginal artifacts and resources into the curriculum where the children can play and engage. It's also about using children's interests as the vehicle for learning where you include an Aboriginal perspective in context to that genuine interest.

I have all our Team booked in and can’t wait for their responses and comments, thank you so much and again well done!"- Cherie Ison
