PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR TEACHERS. ONE WORLD CENTRE WORKSHOP – 15 JUNE 2017
ENGAGING WITH THE ABORIGINAL CONTEXT IN 2017
-
Are you involved in teaching and learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories in the HASS curriculum? (e.g. ACHASSK083, ACHASSK086, ACHASSK107, ACHASSK135, ACDSEH104, ACDSEH106)
-
Have you deeply and meaningfully embedded the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross Curriculum Priority across learning areas?
-
Do you have Aboriginal students in your class?
-
Have you used the Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework (Department of Education) to improve cultural responsiveness and ensure Aboriginal students are confident and successful learners?
Tim Muirhead (non-Aboriginal) and Danny Ford (Nyoongar) will provide a series of powerful frameworks that will help you make sense of the context in which we’re all operating in 2017.The workshop will give you an insight, for example into:
-
The diversity, and diverse, circumstances, of your Aboriginal students and their families;
-
The root causes of some of the deep challenges that many of those students face today;
-
The strength and opportunities, within Aboriginal worlds, that students can draw on;
-
The ‘journey to recovery’ that we can all contribute to, once we understand the context.
-
Keys to building cross-cultural trust, and relationship, within our school community.
Tim and Danny are also open to exploring, openly and respectfully, any questions or dilemmas that you bring to the workshop.
WHEN: 15 JUNE 2017
