What attendees said about the Koori Curriculum Book Summit 2023:
“Definitely feel a stronger connection to the stories. Great to have a deeper understanding of the Authors and Illustrators’ stories, and great to see their passion for what they do and why.” – Simone
“Really enjoy seeing the authors/ illustrators and getting to know them: their stories, values, deep meanings of the books, their diverse personalities. Also very helpful to hear how to use the books as educators” – Sophia
“I love the idea of having some professional discussions with teachers to look at some of these books as a way of discussing the facts, key dates, and being more comfortable with explaining the history accurately and age-appropriately (kindergarten teacher/ primary setting)” – Annelise
“Thank you for a wonderful first day, with amazing presenters. I loved Sue’s comment, ‘Don’t be embarrassed by what you don’t know.’ Loved the variety of presenters, and really liked hearing the stories behind the books as well as how they can be used.” – Natalie
“A takeaway from Jess & from Dr Helen is that books can embed First Nations culture, knowledge and history into many areas of the program and into our conversations.” – Kathy
“Thanks for sharing with us how the picture book was published, as well as how we could use the book and extension from the book.” – Michelle
“As a primary school TL, graphic novels are HUGE in our library. They definitely have a place and an important role to play in engaging our students in quality literature. Great to see some Indigenous graphic novels available!” – Jenna
“Just wanted to say thank you for giving myself and 4 colleagues the opportunity to attend the Book Summit. I have been inspired and can’t wait to reflect with my colleagues when Term break is over.” – Nicole
