What's in a greeting?

This self-paced mini course will be available for one month.

"What's in a greeting?" Explores the profound impact we as educators hold in the formation and development of children's gender identities. Through research, anecdotal evidence and interviews with children Angie will uncover the unconscious ways that we regularly reinforce, impose and praise "traditional" constructions of gender. 

When presented, the research highlights that there is still much work to do, and Angie will present her steps to success (developed in consultation with children) so that we are more informed to make changes and thus, be better teachers tomorrow than we are today.

This presentation is a call to action for us to be more aware of the power of our language, for the sake of children's future beliefs in who they are and what they are capable of. This session runs for 60 minutes and will leave attendees excited to make real life changes to the ways in which they interact with all children in their care.

The next round will start soon!

Your Facilitator

Facilitator Angie Day

Angie Day has enjoyed a vast array of roles in the education sector for just over a decade. These roles include working as a nominated supervisor, primary teacher, national facilitator, practice coach and NESA supervisor. When reflecting on her early teaching experiences, Angie often references the fact that she was always 'an early childhood educator trapped in the body of a primary teacher' placing the rights of children at the forefront of her practice. Her pedagogy prioritises dispositions and a love of learning and fun as the foundation from which to teach. For Angie, teaching is about ensuring that as often as possible, education at all levels fits the learner rather than the reverse. Angie holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood and Primary education, as well as Cert IV in Training and Assessment and an Advanced Diploma in Business Management and Leadership.
