2026 unit information
This unit of study aims to strengthen pre-service teachers' knowledge and skills for responding to Aboriginal students’ learning strengths and needs, and for informing all students about the rich and diverse histories and cultures of the First Peoples in Australia. Ways of learning from Country and collaborating with Aboriginal parents/carers, communities and colleagues are key themes woven throughout the unit. The unit also includes opportunities to connect with key organisations that advocate and work for Aboriginal education in NSW, to support preservice teachers’ professional learning in this area, as they transition beyond their university studies and into their careers.
