Description
Secondary school teachers play a vital role in influencing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students’ experiences of schooling. This subject celebrates the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and Country. A core focus of this subject is to prepare preservice teachers to teach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students (AITSL 1.4) and teach all students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, histories and cultures to promote reconciliation (AITSL 2.4). Preservice teachers are introduced to key policies and practices that influence educational outcomes for Indigenous students and their communities. Foundational knowledge and skills to embed Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in the curriculum are developed. Teacher-education students reflect on their emerging professional identities as teachers and consider the influence of this on their teaching practices.
