LPBD Masterclass with Jessica Staines

About this event

8 Ways of Learning – Masterclass Overview This hands-on masterclass invites early childhood educators to collaboratively explore and apply the 8 Ways of Learning as a framework for programming and planning. Grounded in Aboriginal pedagogy and guided by relational ways of knowing, being and doing, participants will work together to develop a program around a shared topic of enquiry, discovering how each of the 8 Ways can shape, inform, and enrich their curriculum approach. From story sharing and non-linear learning to community links and land-based learning, this practical workshop moves beyond theory and into action. Educators will co-design learning experiences, create a learning map, and embed the 8 Ways in meaningful and culturally responsive ways. Participants will leave with: • A working draft of a program plan using the 8 Ways • A deeper understanding of each pedagogy in context • Ideas for connecting with community and Country • Confidence to collaborate with their team using an intercultural lens This session is ideal for teams ready to move beyond awareness into practice and is suitable for those new to the 8 Ways, as well as educators wanting to refine and deepen their approach.
