EDMAS6047 Catering for Diversity

This course is designed to make connections between teaching, learning, inclusivity and social justice. PSTs will examine the purposes of schooling, its impact on young people from diverse backgrounds as well as practical strategies for supporting the participation and engagement of all learners. PSTs will develop their understanding of the impact of culture, cultural identity and linguistic background on the education of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds and will engage in conferences focused on building respect, relationships and reconciliation. PSTs will consider the achievement, needs and interests of young people from diverse backgrounds and abilities, including those who have disabilities. They will learn about legislation related to diversity and inclusion and will learn how to differentiate in teaching so that all students, are able to flourish and learn well in schools. Throughout the course PSTs will use protocols for fostering inclusivity, respect and democratic decision-making.
