Book Club – Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being
As Australian early childhood educators we have a responsibility to value and promote greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being. It’s a topic we’ve been exploring in our live online event in June and now in our monthly book club.
This month we’ll be talking about Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being, drawing on the reading attached. We’ll look at how we could use materials like the Little J and Big Cuz animated series mentioned in the article.
Join us for this relaxed, open discussion in which we’ll share thoughts, experiences, and questions.

Your participation in the NSW Early Education Leaders Peer Network can contribute to your NESA hours as Elective PD.
NESA Elective PD must meet the Australian professional teaching standards at the applicable accreditation level and be selected from the list of approved Elective PD activities. The Elective PD recorded for your maintenance of accreditation requirements must also address specified Elective PD criteria guidelines.
CELA has reviewed these guidelines for the Early Education Leaders Peer Network initiative and have aligned this initiative with;
- Standard 7 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, ‘Professional Engagement Standard 7 – Engage Professionally with colleagues, parents, carers and the community’, specifically;
- 7.4 Engage with professional teaching networks and broader communities.

NSW Department of Education funded the Peer Network under the Sector Development Program from September 2020 to June 2021.
