Research Around The World

I have chosen the http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/ website to explore. 

What are some of the current international research topics?

Some of the current international research topic on this website is about the flexible practices and patterns across the early childhood sector and also on early brain developments of babies.

What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?

I was surprised to learn about a whole section on this website dedicated to cultural awareness, cultural awareness in pedagogy and practice, cultural events and celebrations, children’s books and resources, relationships with families, creating culturally welcoming spaces, publications on Reconciliation and cultural awareness, recruiting and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators, Policy and research on improving children’s outcomes, broader policy frameworks and useful links on these topics. So much importance is given to the cultural differences and how to manage them in a healthy way. A wonderful resource for those in the early childhood education sector. 

What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?

The website also gives noteworthy information on cultural awareness training which can be taken by any anyone. This is definately a wonderful effort taken to spread cultural awareness to everyone and making sure everyone is on the same page when doing so. 

There is also a group called Yarra Healing who have been the voice for all the indigenous poeple of throughout the nation.
