This Thinkpiece incorporates the framework of Aboriginal Pedagogy titled 8ways.

8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning can be with a connection through:

1. Yarning and story telling
2. Learning maps and visual processes
3. Non-verbal kinaesthetic skills to thinking and learning
4. Symbols and images using metaphors
5. Land links linking content to local land and place
6. Non-linear thinking laterally and combining systems
7. Deconstruct/reconstruct modelling and scaffolding, watch and then do
8. Community links, community learning

From Sue….

My Thinkpiece can be used with the jellyfish tentacles as a metaphor to create a safe space to yarn or a yarning circle/s.

This Thinkpiece gives of myself first to set the scene about my experience to give the yarning circle members the confidence to yarn about their experiences either similar or different.
