The Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Early Childhood Pedagogies research project aims to co-investigate early childhood education practices that supports meaningful learning and a strong sense of belonging for all children, families and educators. Recognises the pivotal role of early childhood educators and leaders in translating policy into meaningful practice this research addresses the gap between policy and practice by using a co-design approach. As a result, the project outcomes include both research outputs and practical resources from which we invite audiences to use.

This project is funded by the Lillian de’Lissa Trust in partnership with five industry partners across South Australia and New South Wales and the University of South Australia and Western Sydney University.
