The Yulang Effect is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated.
We help teachers rethink, plan for, and contribute to First Nations education from a place of truth, connection, and deep understanding.
Hello,
I'm Jordyn
I am a Wiradjuri, Ngemba and Paakantji woman and founder of The Yulang Effect.
I am also a primary teacher, and for the past decade, I have been leading Aboriginal Education within schools.
In 2019, I created an Instagram account, Learning to Ngangaanha, to support Australian teachers in confidently embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and perspectives across the curriculum. My account grew to over 11,000 followers, most of whom were passionate teachers eager to make a difference.
In 2024, I founded The Yulang Effect to work more closely with Australian teachers. I develop impactful resources, such as Planning for Connection, designed to empower educators to create a yulang (ripple) effect, both in the classroom and beyond!
Why?
Because teachers are changemakers.
Yulang (pronounced yoo-lung) is the Wiradjuri word for ripple.
The Yulang Effect logo tells the story of a small stone causing a ripple in a river, representing how one teacher (the stone) can inspire positive change within the education system (the river). The ripples symbolise the lasting impact that teachers create, reaching far beyond individual students and spreading through the entire system.
In this river, you can see other ripples started by other people who are also creating positive impact in the education system, and beyond this logo, there are people making ripples in other rivers, like in health and law.
Together we all contribute to creating meaningful, intergenerational change.
Our vision is clear.
Teachers → Students → Future Generations
Teachers are strong allies and changemakers in education.
All students learn the truth and have a deeper understanding of First Nations histories, cultures and perspectives.
First Nations students have stronger and safer experiences in education, learning in ways that centre connection.
The elimination of racism and the strengthening of relationships between First Nations communities and the wider community.
First Nations people grow up with a strong sense of belonging, contributing to lifelong wellbeing, success and thriving First Nations communities.
