S2 Ep1: Interview with Donna Morley

Today on educator Yarns Jessica speaks with Donna Morley and tackles the big question, how exactly do we tackle the big questions. Donnas deep respect for children comes through in this interview as she discusses the importance of being honest, and open when answering the questions of children. Not only to establish a relationship of respect but also to acknowledge the big world questions the children do have and do want answers to. She reflects on the agency of the child and how to begin conscious and open to the children queries not only allows them emotional space to move freely in their thoughts but also encourages other staff to do similar and move along the same journey. Donna is a wealth of knowledge and her understanding of Aboriginal history and its place in the classroom is both refreshing and enlightening and a big win for the child.
