Final answer:

Early childhood services and schools can collaborate with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community members in the local area to ensure the community's cultural protocols are followed when incorporating learning experiences and routines by engaging in workshops and professional development sessions, adopting an asset-based approach, and using communication and education methods based on adult education methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

Early childhood services and schools can collaborate with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community members in the local area to ensure the community's cultural protocols are followed when incorporating learning experiences and routines by:

  1. Engaging in workshops and professional development sessions that focus on integrating positive cultural values into schools. These workshops can help increase teachers' commitment to developing children's knowledge of cultural values and traditions.
  2. Adopting an asset-based approach that respects and builds on the cultural and religious roles and values cherished by the community. This can involve acknowledging and involving different family and community actors who influence or could influence the issue being addressed.
  3. Using communication and education methods based on adult education methods that elicit critical reflection among community actors rather than relying on persuasion and messages disseminated to passive beneficiaries.
