Podcasts about aboriginal education

In this enlightening episode of Educator Yarns, we sit down with Aaron Johnston, recipient of the Primary School Teacher of The Year Award at the Koori Curriculum Educator Awards in 2024. Aaron, an Assistant Principal at a K-6 school on the Central Coast of NSW (Darkinjung Country), shares his profound journey of becoming an active ally for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education. From his awakening during the Black Lives Matter movement to supporting a student discovering their Aboriginal heritage, Aaron candidly discusses how his ignorance transformed into passionate advocacy. As the leader of his school's Aboriginal Education team, creator of Mr. J's Learning Space on social media, and co-host of the Teacher Takeaway podcast, Aaron demonstrates how educators can authentically embed First Nations perspectives in their pedagogy and influence their communities. This conversation offers practical insights for early childhood educators seeking to begin or deepen their journey of embedding Aboriginal perspectives in their teaching practice. Key Takeaways: Aaron's journey began with acknowledging his own ignorance about First Nations histories and cultures, highlighting the importance of personal reflection for all educators. How being approached by a family seeking to reconnect with their Aboriginal heritage became a catalyst for deeper engagement with First Nations education. Why starting small with "one authentic thing a week" provides a practical approach for educators beginning their journey of embedding Aboriginal perspectives. Consultation with First Nations educators and community members is essential before implementing Aboriginal education initiatives. Supporting children's cultural identity and sense of belonging should be a central focus, particularly for Aboriginal children who may be disconnected from their culture. Reciprocity in relationships with First Nations educators and communities creates sustainable partnerships. Children's literature, such as "Sorry Day" and "Walking Together" by Coral Vass and Dub Leffler, offers accessible entry points for teaching complex historical topics. Social media platforms can be powerful tools for amplifying First Nations voices and sharing practical educational resources. School leadership positions provide opportunities to champion Aboriginal education across entire school communities. The importance of breaking cycles of ignorance to ensure future generations grow up with knowledge and appreciation of Aboriginal cultures. Aaron Johnston's journey from a place of acknowledged ignorance to becoming a recognised ally in Aboriginal education offers a powerful model for educators across Australia. His practical approach emphasises starting small, building genuine relationships, seeking guidance from First Nations educators, and consistently working to amplify Aboriginal voices and perspectives. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to deepen your practice, this episode provides valuable insights and practical strategies. Listen now to be inspired and equipped to make meaningful changes in your educational setting that honour and celebrate the world's oldest living cultures. Access the episode resources here.

"Cancel the meeting you've set to remove me!" ___ An association relating to the education of First Nations people, D, planned to convene a meeting to consider removing its president, P. P applied to the Court on an urgent basis to restrain D from doing so: [1] The meeting was set for a Sunday, P having been provided with very little notice. P approached the Court for an urgent hearing on the Friday beforehand, and the Court made the orders sought: [2] The president said (i) the meeting was not called in accordance with D's constitution, and (ii) for it to proceed would be to deny procedural fairness i.e. the chance to respond to criticism: [6] The president had been involved in education for 40 years, was a life member of D, and had been elected president in 2021: [15] P said that if their role as president was to end, they may need to reapply for their existing job, with a risk they might fail: [16], [42] D's work includes seeking, and then applying, funding. The evidence suggested P would argue that they deserved credit for $20m in funding for the association: [26] Evidence suggested a power struggle and the passing of a motion of no confidence in P in December 2022: [28] – [30] In January 2023, lawyers for the 8 other members of the management committee wrote to P setting out complaints and seeking a response: [31] The complaints included complaints of misusing D's funds: [32] P denied the complaints: [38] P was sick in hospital at the time of the hearing and would not recover in time to attend the meeting in any case: [43] P satisfied the criteria for an interlocutory injunction: proving (i) there was a serious question to be tried and (ii) the balance of convenience favoured an injunction: [47] The obligation of the association to afford P procedural fairness arose by inference: [49] – [51] For the meeting to proceed would offend that requirement due to: P's illness, the lack of particulars of the claims made, and the lack of time given to respond to the claims: [52] – [55] As such, the Court found that a serious question arose: [58] The Ds could not show any prejudice arose from the delay, the risk of the president incurring costs that were not reasonably identifiable was not apparent: [61] P would likely suffer serious reputational loss if the meeting was to go ahead: [63] Indeed, the D may suffer loss of funding for removing its president in circumstances where procedural fairness appears that it may have been denied. The external funding D relies on may be put at risk: [64] P would almost certainly suffer financial loss if the meeting went ahead, where D would be unlikely to suffer loss: [65] The balance of convenience was met and the injunction granted: [68], [71] ___ Please look out for Coffee and Case Note and James d'Apice on your favourite platform!

Steven Strong: is a secondary school teacher with a background in Archaeology and Education. He was involved in the formation of a Graduate Diploma of Aboriginal Education for the N.S.W. Department of Education, writing units on Traditional Law and Contemporary History. He also co-authored the highly successful “Aboriginal Australia: A Language and Cultural kit”. Evan Strong: has a background in Anthropology & Indigenous Cultural Studies, Counselling & Mediation with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Graduate Studies in Psychology. Evan has worked as a researcher for the Northern Rivers Area Health Service, a Social Worker, Teachers Aide, and a Funeral Director. They have spent many years learning, living and/or working with the Bundjalung Language Confederation (Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales), Ramindjeri (South Australia) and Gumilaroi peoples (Northern New South Wales). They operate under the doctrine of Wirritjin (Black Fella, White Fella Dreaming): In remembrance of Karno W…., spokesperson for the Ramindjeri. They work with a diverse informal network of Independent Researchers, Original Custodians/Elders, Patrons/Supporters and Friends. In consultation with Elders of Australia, we believe we have rediscovered a hidden history: The Out of Australia Theory. We have written five books “Constructing a New World Map”, “Mary Magdalene's Dreaming”, “Forgotten Origin“, “Shunned”/”Out of Australia” and “Between A Rock and a Hard Place” that rewrites the history of Australia and the world. Our books' main brief is to prove through the scientific fact that which the Elders insist is true. We have assembled facts about archaeological finds, and also early contact accounts, genetics, Serpent myths, Dreaming stories, Amerindian myths, parallels in religious texts, etc into one coherent theory. Unlike the authorities in one field who are limited in their specialty, we draw all the disciplines together and attempt to resolve the confusion. Our claim is supported by genes, mtDNA, blood and many experts, that Australian Original people set sail from Australia, not to, 50,000 years ago. We claim that Australian Original people sailed to and settled in America over 40,000 years ago, and visited many other places including Egypt, Japan, Africa, India etc. They were the first Homo sapiens who evolved before the Sapiens of Africa, and who gave the world art, axes, religion, marine technology, culture, co-operative living, language and surgery. The debate over whether they were the first people in America is virtually a closed case. Hundreds of bones and skulls have been discovered that are undeniable of “Australian Aboriginal” origin. What it all means has had even the experts mystified. Professor Clive Gamble claims we “have to construct a completely new map of the world, and how it was peopled.” We are responding to the call and attempting to clear up the confusion. We also trace the legacy of the Australian Original Dreaming found within the mystical sects and creeds. We believe its principal elements are evident in all expressions, particularly Gnosticism.

In the third episode of Better World Leaders our conversation is with Ben Bowen, an Australian Aboriginal whose career began as a pro-endurance athlete and after a sizeable bump on the road, transitioned into applying high performance insights and Aboriginal knowledge into social enterprise and corporate capability development internationally.Ben is Co-Founder and Partner of Shared Path, a social enterprise that works to positively impact social issues within Aboriginal communities by achieving economic independence through business development. Shared Path also work globally with First Nations peoples as members of the UN Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples, developing technology platforms that enable and protect the custodianship of knowledge.Ben is a specialist innovator who is able to identify and implement strategies that empower all team members to perform at the best. Ben has been working in multiple fields as a consultant and brings his own unique style to supporting organisations.Within the disability sphere to create outdoor programs that challenge participants and support their personal development of positive coping strategies.In the corporate and government sphere Ben has been driving change through a unique approach of Aboriginal cultural learning and practices to develop strategic planning, communication, change management and team building programs.Ben also works within the tertiary education lecturing in Aboriginal Education and Indigenous Public Health to develop the next generations of professionals perform at their best, as well as business units around social enterprise development, entrepreneurship in rural and remote settings, ethics and thought leadership in business.The key messages I received from this conversation were;- That a change is required in how businesses view ‘successful growth', not as exponential and constant, but to reach a growth target and maintain it sustainably.- To avoid disruption and build sustainable growth, organisations should focus not on eliminating single problems but linking issues to address the larger global solution.- Build communities within employees, consumers and customers to leverage ‘small networks', focusing on the leaders of these and seeking to engage with collective leadership.- Discover the power of storytelling for communication, critically how to ensure core values and organisational ethos are prominent consistently to improve reliability of messaging and knowledge transfer throughout hierarchies, geographies and languages.- How to communicate from a human perspective, both to mitigate the risk and enable the best outcome from visual communication modes.- That to build momentum leaders should bring together and empower teams most effectively at the beginning, end and during a change phase. If this is done correctly the steerage of direction and maintaining of pace becomes much easier.The best way to get in touch with Ben and engage with his knowledge and work is via https://www.sharedpath.org.au/ or connecting with Ben on social media via the links belowlinkedin or facebook

Steven and his son Evan believe that they have rediscovered a hidden history. Steven speaks about the ascension, what the Aboriginal Elders think is happening and what we need to do to prepare. Time is running out folks. 2020 is the year of major changes and Steven confirms what many have been speaking about for hundreds of years. He also tells us about his amazing collection of magical rings, specifically the Ring of Atlantis. De Belizal was a practitioner of radiesthesia, the study of vibrational fields within the human body, which allowed the access of information from animate or inanimate objects. In the mid-1960s, De Belizal conducted vibration tests on the ring using specially calibrated instruments to decode the resonant energy vibrating from the Atlantis ring. De Belizal’s results discovered that the ring’s geometric shapes created a faint energy forcefield consisting of minute energy vibrations. This effectiveness corresponded to the correct placement and application of the Luxor symbol.The ring's electromagnetic waves prevented the alteration of its energy signature. This energy acted as a forcefield to whoever wore it. It allegedly was able to increase an individual's ability to access their subconscious mind . With his findings, De Belizal keyed the term "Waveform of Luxor" - which had to do with studying the geometry of the ring. He then proceeded to create a larger and flatter version known as the "Harmonizer of Luxor" in order to see if similar principals could be used to protect more massive places such as a home or office.He discovered that when the shapes were flattened, the contraption was able to maintain properties for compensation and balance of the cosmo-telluric energies in a consistent area. De Belizal also alleged that the Atlantis ring and bar were based on the authentic waveforms found in Egyptian sarcophagi to create a protection zone, to shield against the rupture from certain Cosmo-telluric forces, or negative energies brought forth from men holding bad intentions.Pleadian skulls and other items he has found on his digs that people are desperate to take off his hands and have tried to kill him to get to them. His story is incredible and you won't be able to get this kind of information anywhere else. He isn't afraid to discuss the things everyone else is afraid to talk about. Steven and his son Even have written five books "Constructing a New World Map", "Mary Magdalene's Dreaming", "Forgotten Origin", "Ancient Aliens in Australia" (co-written with Daniella Cardenas and Bruce Fenton) and "Shunned" that rewrite the history of Australia and the world.

Sue French and Natalie Pierson reflect on their experiences as teachers and leaders of Aboriginal Education. Together, they suggest some approaches to supporting our students and schools. “I think that Aboriginal Education is in two parts; one part is Aboriginal People and making sure all Aboriginal Peoples have all of the same opportunities as other Australians do… but it’s also about building understanding and knowledge throughout the community, and I believe that until we build that knowledge and respect throughout the wider community, long term very little will change. I think we will struggle and struggle and struggle until this lovely land of ours is free of fear and racism… … For young Aboriginal teachers, I say, ‘focus on your craft and have a look at the things you need to do to get better at teaching’… For schools, having a look at what’s mandated, what’s mandatory and what’s important? …What do staff already know? What is happening and what else can we do? It’s really important to do a little bit of an audit and evaluation of what we are doing and what’s working and then go from there…” For information about contributors and the JPL Podcast, as well as Journal of Professional Learning articles and Centre for Professional Learning courses, please visit our website www.cpl.asn.au/podcasts

A bit about Steven Strong and his son Evan Strong and what they do from their website “Forgotten Origin”.50,000 years ago, the very first Homo Sapiens set sail from Australia. These people were responsible for the development of religion, art, agriculture, seafaring, surgery, and many of the cornerstones of civilisation as we know it.Steven and Evan Strong have spent over 20 years assembling facts from archaeological finds, explorers’ accounts, genetics information, traditional Australian Aboriginal mythology and many more sources to develop one coherent and controversial theory: Aboriginal people exported civilisation to the world-at-large.Steven Strong is a secondary school teacher with a background in Archaeology and Education. He was involved in the formation of a Graduate Diploma of Aboriginal Education for the N.S.W. Department of Education, writing units on Traditional Law and Contemporary History. He also co-authored the highly successful “Aboriginal Australia: A Language and Cultural kit”.Evan Strong has a background in Sociology and Psychology.
