Embedding First Nations Pedagogy
“We today take this first step by acknowledging the past and laying claim to a future that embraces all Australians. A future where we harness the determination of all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to close the gap that lies between us in life expectancy, educational achievement and economic opportunity.” from the Prime Minister Motion of Apology to Australia Indigenous Peoples, House of Representatives, 13 February 2008
The Portfolio of Resources interactive blog offers the exemplary teacher, a few approaches to be utilised within the early adolescent classroom, incorporating culturally diverse Australian Indigenous inclusive pedagogy, conducive to participation by Aboriginal students. Multi-literate and differentiated exemplary teachers apply the Competency Framework for Teachers Standards dimensions and phases, utilising strategies to include Australia’s Indigenous perspective within the learning community.
If you have any resources that you have links to or apps that you have found useful within the blended and differentiated learning field please feel free to post them on this BLOG page below. Thank you.
