Hi everyone, I am new to this community and also glad to see it here :) I am interested in hearing people's views on the difficulty (if any) they have in finding resources that assist them in providing an inclusive 0-5 program, more specifically culturally diverse resources for use across all areas of the curriculum. I have worked in many centres over the past 12 years (and been a director at three centres) and all centres seem only ever to provide the same resources (largely owing to the fact I guess that we all buy from the same "big" catalogues - not a lot of choice out there) and all come to a dead end when it comes to providing a vast variety of culturally diverse resources (we only ever get as far as rice bowls and chop sticks in home corner and a few rain sticks and small percussional instruments). For me personally it is very frustrating that it is difficult for us to provide resources that support an inclusive/diverse curriculum. Your thoughts? Experiences?
