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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
