1 Making Football More Welcoming with The Outer Sanctum - PTE031 51:22

Afspil senere Afspil senere Lister Like LikedI have a confession to make. I love footy shows. I cannot get enough of them, as they dissect seemingly every move of each game in the AFL, the Australian Football League. And yet I've always found the straight, white blokiness of most of these footy shows, problematic. Whilst there's occasional nods to diversity or diversity-related issues, they're never central to these shows. Then I discovered 'The Outer Sanctum' podcast. I took it out with me on my Friday morning walk around the neighborhood, and it's been a regular companion since then. It's a show that's defied my expectations, giving space to voices rarely heard in the mainstream sports media and consistently tackling issues of racism, sexism, and homophobia within the AFL. The Outer Sanctum Podcast fires me up. It intrigues me and draws me in. It makes me laugh. In a time, where hate-related speech dominates the landscape, it makes me happy and fills me with hope. So I was pretty stoked when I had the chance to chat to two of the hosts from the Outer Sanctum Podcast.

Afspil senere Afspil senere Lister Like LikedHow can we support and empower students to make change happen? How can we empower them to be change-makers who challenge and transform unjust systems? Well, we've gotta dislodge and disrupt the stories of oppression and victim-hood that are so prevalent. We've gotta review and re-frame the ways we talk about ourselves and our communities. We've gotta tell stories of persistence, positivity, hope, joy and achievement. It all starts with re-thinking our business as usual in schools.

Often though it's voice with limitations or prescriptions, with adults ultimately making the decisions or limiting the amount of influence that students actually have. In this episode, we take a different route. We examine how one school in New Zealand moved from student voice to student agency. Here Maori students (for example) play an active and influential role in the life of the school. They lead training workshops with parents and carers, as well as general community consultations. They also participate as Student Ambassadors on interview panels for new teaching staff. We've also got the Lightning Round.

Afspil senere Afspil senere Lister Like LikedIt's quite a journey - as you step into a classroom for the first time, or take on a new role in a different school. You look and listen, paying close attention to your colleagues, to how they engage, to how they do their job. And you wonder, Should I teach like them? Show I lead like them? Or should I reveal much more of me, showing what I've got to offer? This episode we're focusing on: Finding Our Way AND Our Place in Education. AND Finding Our Communities - where we're recognised, validated and challenged. That's Not All Though. We've also got the Lightning Round, where we're Pushing for quick insights on Risk, Boundaries, Disruption and Messiness. And to bring us home, a Not to Be Missed Quote from Maya Angelou. Our Guest, Ashley Zatt (nee Gravelle), an early career Elementary or Primary School Teacher.
