Learn with the experienced Indigenous specialists at Kapok Education!
Our Philosophy
We approach Indigenous education differently. We don’t offer lesson plans or units. We’re about developing deeper understandings and relationships. Australia is home to ancient intellectual traditions, thousands of generations of knowledge guiding regenerative ways of living. Working respectfully with this intellectual heritage requires a learning journey, one that we take with you, to recenter Indigenous ways of knowing. We look forward to learning with you!
Our specialists
With a combined 50 years in Indigenous education, Alison and Georgie can help you! Alison is a Tagalaka woman from far north Queensland, with a career in teacher education for Indigenous education. Georgie has family connections to Erub Island in Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Islands) with a career working with teachers to implement best practice in Indigenous education.
