Six months until Australians will have the chance to vote for Constitutional recognition and a Voice to Parliament. Prof Megan Davis, who was co-chair of the Uluṟu Dialogue, a member of the Prime Minister’s Referendum Council from 2015-2017 and more recently on the Referendum Working Group, talks about the need for changing the way we develop policy that affects First Nations people.

A little bit o’ gold in them thar hills! Humility in teaching is an interesting concept, isn’t it. So many teachers always need to be right.That’s wrong. Show your vulnerability to students. Be yourself, be genuine, show kindness & model the dispositions you want in your students
