2024 unit information
This unit of study builds on EDMT5680 Aboriginal Students K-6. It increases pre-service teachers' knowledge and practical skills for connecting with local Aboriginal communities and authentically incorporating Aboriginal histories, cultures, experience and expertise in teaching programs. This unit of study will also connect pre-service teachers with key leaders in Aboriginal Education in NSW who provide guidance and support for in-service teachers. Knowledge of the work of these organisations is essential to equip pre-service teachers to continue to improve their skills in the area of Aboriginal Education in their future careers.
