🟢 Are your program plans in step with the land - or just with the wall calendar?

In this episode of Early Education in the Age of AI, Jodie invites you to step outside, notice the signs of the season around you, and discover how to bring them into your planning in ways that are both engaging for children and respectful of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander seasonal knowledge.

🟣 What You'll Find Out:

✅ Why seasonal planning goes far beyond “spring” and “summer.”

✅ How Aboriginal seasonal calendars connect learning to place and culture.

✅ Common roadblocks educators face when planning with the seasons - and how to overcome them.

✅ Practical, beginner-friendly AI prompts to help you research, link to the EYLF, create provocations, and connect with families.

✅ Two real-life scenarios … one from a family daycare and one from an early learning centre, showing how AI can be adapted to different environments.

✅ Essential tips for ensuring your planning honours cultural protocols and community voices.

Whether you’re in a small backyard space or a sprawling early learning centre, you’ll leave with ideas you can try this week…starting with just one seasonal observation and three AI-generated learning experiences.
