Description
Resetting the Future provides pre-service teachers with the opportunity to critically engage with and evaluate scholarly research and contemporary developments in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and apply their learning in local school contexts. This subject celebrates the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and Country. A core focus of this subject is to prepare pre-service teachers to teach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school students (AITSL 1.4) and teach all students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, histories and cultures to promote reconciliation (AITSL 2.4). Pre-service teachers are introduced to key policies and practices that influence educational outcomes for Indigenous school students and their communities. Foundational knowledge and skills to embed Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in the curriculum are developed. Pre-service teachers reflect on their emerging professional identities as teachers and consider the influence of this on their teaching practices.
