Building Cultural Competence in Early Childhood Educators

Description

This Professional Learning afternoon will showcase the Action Learning projects by six AISWA schools, from a range of diverse Early Learning settings and community contexts. The focus of the ‘Building Cultural Competence’ project was to frame this work on current programs (if any) within the school, building capacity around the EYLF and curriculum links such as the 'Intercultural and Ethical Understanding' General Capability and the Aboriginal and/or Asia Cross Curriculum Priority. The successful participants were guided by suggested resources and ongoing school-based PL support. Participants were also required to attend several related activities, such as AISWA Professional Learning sessions.

In partnership with Early Childhood Australia, please join us for an afternoon of personal and professional learning as we hear from these wonderful Early Childhood Educators as they share their personal stories of building their own cultural awareness and how this is transforming the way they bring these new insights into their learning environments.
