EDMT6022: Learning from Country
2024 unit information
This unit of study is the second core unit in Aboriginal Education in the Secondary Master of Teaching program. By participating in local Country-centred, Aboriginal community led socio-cultural experiences, preservice teachers will develop their critical consciousness to better understand the diversity, strength and resilience of Aboriginal peoples, communities, and cultures. Through experiencing Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing, preservice teachers will develop culturally responsive, relationships-focused curriculum and pedagogical practices to improve Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal student outcomes when they become teachers.
