Ep 6: Interview with Kerri Douglas

In this episode, I sit down with Kerri Douglas, a proud Dja Dja Wurrung and Bangerang descendant. Since 2014, Kerri has been employed with the Department of Education and Training Victoria as a Koori Engagement Support Officer, otherwise known as KESO.

In this episode we will discuss:

  • What is a KESO (Koori Educator Support Officer)?
  • What role does a KESO play in schools and community?
  • How are schools assigned a KESO?
  • How to find a KESO (ie, department of education and training)
  • The region Kerri currently covers
  • The importance of providing professional development in regional areas
  • Do KESO's work with other organisations and how this happens
  • LAECG - what this is and why it is important
  • The challenges Aboriginal families in Kerri's allocated area are currently facing
  • What support does Keri provide as part of her role
  • How educators can start
  • Kerri's process of implementing a 'culture audit' at the centre's she supports
  • The importance of celebrating how far we have come in early childhood.
