Refugee Week

Refugee Week, 15-21 June, promotes greater awareness of refugees, the issues they face, and the contributions refugees are making to the Australian community.

Do you reflect on your own bias and perceptions of refugees and asylum seekers?
How do you link families with local refugee and asylum seeker supports, and community programs?
What reasonable adjustments might be required to support children from a refugee background?

Professional Learning

Professional Learning can be a great way to build knowledge, skills and confidence around inclusion. With the wide variety of professional learning opportunities available including conferences, webinars, workshops and other online forums, it can be difficult to choose which opportunities to invest in. When choosing professional learning sessions for yourself and your team, consider the following questions:

  • Have you identified any specific professional learning needs in your QIP or SIP?
  • How will the knowledge gained be implemented in your program and practices?
  • What opportunities will be available for the knowledge, skills and ideas to be shared with other team members?
  • Is there a professional learning opportunity available that will ‘stretch’ team thinking and challenge ideas and practice?

Learning Opportunities

Professional learning opportunities build educators’ confidence, skills and knowledge around inclusion and support them on their inclusion journey.
