Course description
This course is based on the principles inherent within the Indigenous worldview that proposes Indigenous pathways to knowledge as a necessary enhancement of teaching practice and a vital component of a balanced school curriculum. This course introduces the landscape of Indigenous education in Australia as a dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing, pedagogical practices, voices and perspectives. The course explores the terrain of Indigenous Australian studies as a curriculum area and our work as teachers in relation to Indigenous Australian students.
