Trish Albert is Senior Indigenous Education Officer at the National Museum. Having worked for many months researching and writing the (wonderful) Plenty Stories, she was thrilled to hear that the series won a 2010 Australian Publishers Association award for excellence in educational publishing. First Australians: Plenty Stories (that’s its full name) is a joint winner – along with the Big Oxford Atlas – of the best resource for primary teaching and learning. The judges called the series ‘groundbreaking’ in its presentation of a variety of voices and perspectives both historical and contemporary.
Congratulations, Trish! Of course, it’s also great news for upper primary teachers and students of Indigenous culture and history, in that this resource is now quality-assured.
