We invite you to a powerful and immersive collaboration event, designed to enhance your approach to early years education through two thought-provoking sessions.This is an opportunity to learn from experts in the field and integrate fresh, meaningful practices into your curriculum.
In the first session, Jessica Staines, Director of Koori Curriculum, will guide us through "Aboriginal Perspectives in the Early Years Learning Framework." This transformative workshop offers valuable insights into embedding Aboriginal culture into early childhood education.
Jessica will demonstrate how to program and plan with authenticity using the 8ways of learning, develop cultural learning plans, and create reconciliation commitment statements. Together, we will explore how Aboriginal perspectives can enrich all aspects of the EYLF, from outcomes to practices.
In the second session, Bec Burch of Bush Kindy Australia will delve into "Sustainability and Nature Play in the Early Years Learning Framework." This hands-on session will explore the new Sustainability Principle in EYLF 2.0 and its connection to nature pedagogy.
Bec will offer strategies to foster sustainable practices in your setting, reflect on team sustainability skills, and provide insights into integrating place-based pedagogy into nature play.Join us in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future for early childhood education!
