We we lucky enough to have a set of PD sessions with Sagda and Amin from Indigenius Teaching & Learning focusing on the Critically Conscious Educator and serving as an introduction to Culturally Responsive Pedagogy. They presented four sessions: Power Privilege Purpose, Valuing the Authentic Identities of Students, Learning Environments and Report Writing. These important sessions raised my awareness about my own culture, identity and privilege as well as giving practical tips about how to create inclusive learning communities. Following this session, the MSHS Principal and I agreed many of our classrooms could do with some TLC on a physical level as well as the 'hidden' aspects needing attention. I adapted their environment checklist to create an AISL specific checklist and created a series of PD sessions on classroom learning environments resulting in many classrooms being overhauled.
