Ep 11. Interview with Kristine Willems

Ep 11. Interview with Kristine Willems

In this episode, I yarn with Kristine Willems.

Kristine is a diploma trained educator that has been working in early childhood for 32 years. Kristine usually works at a sessional kindergarten for Wyndham city council. However, she left her family and fur babies behind this year to move to the northern territory to teach in a remote community. So, if ever you have been curious about what that change would be like, then this is the podcast for you.

In this episode we will discuss:

  • Kristine's background and how she came to work in the Northern Territory.
  • What long daycare in the Northern Territory looks like and how it differs from metropolitan centres.
  • Aboriginal languages and Jess's personal experience hearing indigenous elders who did not speak English.
  • How flexibility is key to Kristine's role.
  • Adapting to being able to learn in a physical way.
  • Working with the local community.
  • How Kristine navigates negative feedback or criticism when people think her presence is to 'save the children' (which she outlines is the opposite of why she is there).
  • The importance of body language
  • The value of kinship in community
  • And much, much more!
