Description

Exploring reconciliation in early childhood education and care settings can be an extremely powerful way of teaching children about culture and introducing them to concepts such as respect, equity and justice.  

 

This course will help you take your first steps towards embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and reconciliation into your daily practice. By referencing the truth about Australia’s history, this course explains how knowledge and personal beliefs may impact your experience of reconciliation and how they form the foundation for building reconciliation in education and care practice.
