Firstly, hello to everyone who is new here. Welcome to my blog! It has been a very long time since I have posted an entry. Working full-time, studying part-time and having a life sure has its challenges but here I am back again ready to share some hopefully thought-provoking insights with you.

As part of my studies this semester I was required to create a video reflecting on the whiteness of the Australian curriculum which I will now share with you. I have to reiterate how limited my understanding of Indigenous cultures, perspectives and knowledge was prior to my undertaking of this Masters level unit. Hopefully, this video summarises some of the key points that need to be shared around this lack of knowledge which is evident in the limited inclusion of Indigenous perspectives embedded in our everyday learning experiences in classrooms across Australia.

This is only a snapshot of the way the Australian Curriculum is written to echo the dominant white Eurocentric ideologies. I hope this short video draws your attention to the minute details of what we teach and how we choose to teach it to ensure that you reconsider the taken-for-granted attitudes that are being reiterated. By keeping this in the back of your mind, you can consciously choose to be more inclusive in your practice!

Please feel free to leave respectful comments or questions so that we can engage in authentic, honest discussion about this important topic!
