Yarn Strong Sista

Workshops Built Around What Educators Actually Need in the Room Rather than a single generic session, Yarn Strong Sista runs nine distinct workshops, each running two to three hours or a full day depending on what a service needs.

Nobody reads a book just because it's on the shelf. Aboriginal books online through Yarn Strong Sista get chosen for classroom engagement first, stories and perspectives built for read- alouds , independent reading time, or a discussion starter, not just for ticking a representation box. Picture books cover the younger end. Titles for older primary students go further into storytelling traditions and contemporary Aboriginal voices, with material that connects to what's already being taught rather than sitting off to one side of the curriculum. Building a collection of aboriginal books online this way means every title earns a spot for classroom use, not just for looking good on a shelf. Browse the range at Yarn Strong Sista and find titles that suit your students.

Not every early childhood professional development workshop covers the same ground, and Yarn Strong Sista runs nine distinct sessions rather than a single generic training slotted into a staff meeting. Sessions run from two hours through to a full day, depending on what a service needs.  Cost and scheduling often derail professional development plans before they start. Early childhood professional development workshops through Yarn Strong Sista can be facilitated through funding streams including Victorian School Readiness Funding, which makes booking a more straightforward decision for eligible services.  Sessions are developed in consultation with Traditional Owners, Elders and community, led by education consultant Annette Sax. Get in touch with Yarn Strong Sista to find which of the nine workshops suits your team.
