Support meaningful, informed, and action-focused learning in your classroom with the National Reconciliation Week Teacher Box - a thoughtfully curated collection of resources designed to deepen understanding, spark respectful conversations, and encourage ongoing allyship.

This box goes beyond awareness, equipping educators with practical tools to guide students through the histories, cultures, and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while fostering reflection and responsibility.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The Welcome to Country Handbook by Marcia Langton
  A powerful and accessible guide that explores the significance, protocols, and contemporary relevance of Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country practices.

• Growing Up Torres Strait Islander in Australia
  A groundbreaking anthology sharing diverse, lived experiences from Torres Strait Islander voices - past and present.

• AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia (A1 Folded)
  A visually engaging and essential classroom reference that highlights the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language groups and Nations across Australia.

• Aboriginal Art Lanyard
  A practical and meaningful accessory that celebrates Indigenous art and culture in everyday school life.

• Reconciliation Yarn Cards
  A versatile set of prompts designed to facilitate respectful dialogue, critical thinking, and shared learning about reconciliation.

• ALL IN Allyship Yarning Cards: A Becoming Practice for Walking Differently
  This transformative new card set invites educators and learners to move beyond reflection into action.
  ALL IN supports a practice of becoming — encouraging users to notice where their values and behaviours align, where they don’t, and what needs to shift. Grounded in relational accountability and cultural humility, these cards help uncover patterns, challenge avoidance, and inspire meaningful change.
  This isn’t about having the right answers — it’s about staying engaged in the work. Each prompt encourages you to step beyond intention and take responsibility for what comes next.

The National Reconciliation Week Teacher Box is intentionally designed not just for classroom delivery, but for educators themselves — as a space to learn, reflect, and grow.

Too often, the expectation is that teachers lead conversations about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures without being given the time or resources to build their own understanding first. This collection addresses that gap. It supports educators to engage thoughtfully with the knowledge, voices, and perspectives that sit at the heart of reconciliation, at their own pace, and in their own professional context.

Each resource in the box invites deeper engagement. From foundational texts and lived experiences to guided yarning prompts, the collection encourages educators to sit with complex ideas, reflect on their own assumptions, and consider how this learning shapes their practice. It’s not about having all the answers; it’s about building confidence, cultural awareness, and a commitment to ongoing learning.

The Teacher Box is particularly powerful when used collaboratively. It lends itself naturally to staff meetings, professional development sessions, or team reflections during National Reconciliation Week and beyond. The yarning cards can guide respectful, structured conversations, while the books and map provide shared reference points for discussion and inquiry. Used in this way, the box helps create a collective approach to reconciliation within a school, not just individual effort.

By supporting educators first, this resource strengthens what happens in the classroom. It encourages teaching that is informed, respectful, and grounded in genuine understanding, helping move reconciliation from a moment in the calendar to an embedded, ongoing practice within the school community.
