Rattler - Issue 146 - September 2024

Rattler issue 146 is here!

Inside you'll find insightful articles covering a wide range of topics to spark reflection and discussion in your service. 

This issue celebrates significant achievements in the early education sector, most notably the Federal Government’s $3.6 billion commitment to boost wages for early childhood educators and teachers. 

Inside, you'll find articles that explore this wage increase, its impact on educators, and how it acknowledges their invaluable contribution to shaping young lives. We also delve into inspiring topics such as the role of risky play in children's health and well-being, the importance of truth-telling in relation to Australia's history, and how educators can illuminate children's rights within their communities. 

Gain practical insights from a range of perspectives, including multimodal literacy and how it supports children as effective communicators, as well as the benefits of embracing professional growth as a collective.
