Building Cultural Competence in Early

Childhood Educators

Maree Whitely (AISWA)

26 October 2018

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.
