35. Let’s Talk about Embedding First Nations Perspectives in the Classroom With Lesley Woodhouse

In this insightful episode, we are joined by Lesley, a passionate advocate for integrating First Nations perspectives in education. Lesley shares her expertise on how educators can move beyond the fear of being 'tokenistic' and truly become allies. We delve into practical advice for teachers who are nervous or uneducated about First Nations cultures and discuss the powerful impact teachers can have, especially for children from families that are not allies. Lesley also highlights her efforts to support teachers during NAIDOC Week and shares what this year's theme, "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud," means to her.With NAIDOC Week just around the corner, this is an important episode to listen to and share with a colleague. We also would like to formally invite each and everyone of your to join Wingaru’s NAIDOC webinar with Kylie Captian from Dream Big Education and be that teacher who makes a difference!You can access more help with embedding First Nations perspectives on our blog and Wingaru’s blog. Rainbows ahead,Ashleigh and AlishaResources mentioned in this episodeWhere to Start Embedding First Nations Perspectives (especially if you are unsure) blog postExplore Wingaru EducationConnect with Lesley and the team on InstagramPurchase a NAIDOC Week packJoin the webinarBook: Fair Skin Black Fella by Renee Fogorty Check out Jordyn from @learning_to_ngangaanhaJoin Transform your First Years here.APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY Let's hear from you!
