“I had the pleasure of working with Sandra to develop the Deep Time History unit for Year 7 History. As a First Nations education and curriculum specialist, as well as being an Aboriginal person, working with someone on a unit like this requires a special relationship to be built fast. It also requires someone to be a true First Nations ally to allow the First Nations person to excel at what they do best - share perspective, knowledge and culture. Sandra was, without a doubt, the person who was best suited for this partnership. She is an exceptional listener, a brilliant and creative writer who understands curriculum and education like the back of her hand. More importantly, she is a wonderful human with deep empathy for First Nations history and knowledges. I can only hope that I will get another opportunity to work with Sandra again!”
About
I did a workplace strengths assessment recently. In a nutshell, this is me at work.
🔗 I can find connections between seemingly disparate ideas quite easily.
🧠 I love thinking and having intellectual discussions.
👩🏻💻 I'm excited by the process of learning, and I can't get enough of it.
🧺I'm a finder and collector of information and ideas.
🗺️ I can map out pathways through situations that other people can't see.
Put all of these together and you get a confident, compassionate communicator who is great at working with people to find meaningful and ‘doable’ solutions to their problems.
