There exists a vast number of resources at the educator's disposal to help in addressing social contexts within early childhood settings. The Australian Human Rights Commission provides teaching materials that promote diversity, respect, and inclusion and that could be adapted to programs existing in early years. The Narragunnawali platform supplies practical tools and lesson ideas for reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives embedded within the curriculum (Reconciliation Australia, 2024).
Children’s books, interestingly, will prove invaluable when examining social contexts because stories can introduce concepts of diversity, empathy, and cooperation in an interesting and fun way. Whoever You Are by Mem Fox or All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold encourages kids to appreciate differences and value uniqueness. Using these resources in everyday practice helps children attune more to the social surrounding around them.
