Towards Culturally Appropriate Behaviour Support

It is our great pleasure to endorse this groundbreaking and exciting contribution to the much-needed education framework for our Indigenous children across Australia. Matthew O'Connor, President of KACC and the Yugambeh Museum Towards Culturally Appropriate Behaviour Support provides an opportunity for individuals, schools and communities alike to contemplate how their interwoven working relationships impact the behaviours of the students within our classrooms. Dr Linda Llewellyn examines these uncomplicated yet fundamental concepts through sharing the rich lived experiences of Indigenous Australians and provides specific examples of what teachers can do in each instance. The book offers insights for educators to look with curiosity at their own capabilities in this space. An easy read with practical tools for classrooms. Dr Caroline Blackley, Director of Blackley Group Pty Ltd, Founder of Four Dimensions and the 4D Framework Towards Culturally Appropriate Behaviour Support is an easy-to-read guide for educators working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. The practical information for day-to-day implementation is supplemented with eye-opening anecdotes from Indigenous students, educators and family members. A must-read for both the experienced and those who are new to the field. Tania Fragnito BEd(Prim), BECE, MEd and Theol
