Culturally Safe Classrooms
The purpose of Jessie's Classroom is to contribute to culturally safe classrooms. We understand it can be daunting for many teachers to teach Indigenous studies and limited knowledge and understanding of the subject can put both the students and the educators at risk. Jessie's Classoom is a nationally focused resource that aims to aviod any local issues such as cultural boundaries, language use or local permissions.
Music as the Messenger
Music is one of the most powerful tools for learning, a gentle and inclusive way for classrooms and communities to share culture in song. Each song is strategically composed and presented to encourage stronger relationshsips between schools and thier local Indigenous community. We encourgare the public use of all of the songs beyond the classroom and used at community events such as NAIDOC, Reconciliatoin week, Mabo Day, etc.
