The Aboriginal Early Childhood Planning Guide is more than just a diary. This is a place to learn, unlearn and relearn. This is a safe space to rest and reflect on your reconciliation journey so far, whilst simultaneously setting goals and planning strategies to achieve the next steps.

Here you will find places and spaces to unpack your ‘why’ and to develop your personal and professional philosophy. This process will enable you to articulate and consolidate a mantra of why privileging Aboriginal cultures and perspectives in the early learning profession is vital.

We all have had different relationships, experiences and opportunities that have had an influence on our existing practices. The Aboriginal Early Childhood Planning Guide will highlight and affirm what you have already achieved and where you currently are on your journey in joining us.

Together the dynamic duo - Dr Red Ruby Scarlet and Jessica Staines will lead you through the pages of the guide, explaining protocols and processes whilst all the time provoking critical reflection of your practice. The Aboriginal Early Childhood Planning Guide is respectfully confronting and will push educators out of their comfort zones.

The Aboriginal Early Childhood Planning Guide is best used in conjunction with The Aboriginal Early Childhood Practice Guide and The Aboriginal Early Childhood Webinar Series, as they offer detailed guidance and practical examples of how to ensure your everyday practices are based on, and inclusive of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and anti-bias approaches.

Early childhood learning and curriculum frameworks in Australia have all been based on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and anti-bias approaches. Too often both of these practices have been ‘added on’ rather than become central to everyday curriculum and operational processes.

In this book, we have developed a whole year planning guide to support you to bring these critical practices front and centre every day. We do this with full reassurance that every aspect of what you value about children, their learning, your everyday curriculum, and, importantly, your professional learning is inclusive, respectful and holistic.

This beautiful book has been carefully designed through familiar concepts to ensure a feeling of success. Together, they focus on Indigenous and non-Indigenous approaches to collective practices, they draw from place-based learning, and, contemporary early childhood approaches.

We hope you enjoy the experience and look forward to walking with you…
