Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander: Learning and Teaching

EDBED3016 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander: Learning and Teaching

This course is designed to engage pre-service teachers in developing cultural awareness and classroom strategies for improving learning outcomes through best practice models in teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and promoting reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Pre-service teachers will develop broad knowledge, understanding and an appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and languages to meet current curriculum priorities and Australian Professional Standards for Teachers expectations and requirements. Stemming from understandings of historical relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australians, pre-service teachers will explore and engage with appropriate cultural protocols, as well as culturally inclusive teaching pedagogies, to develop positive and inclusive learning programs and outcomes for all students.
