Demonstrate broad knowledge and understanding of the impact of culture, cultural identity and linguistic background on the education of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds.
Throughout my teacher training I have completed the three units in Indigenous studies - Cultural and Indigenous Perspectives- through which I learnt a lot about the impact of culture, cultural identity and linguistic background on the education of students. I know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures are identified as a Cross Curriculum Priority in teaching by the Australian Curriculum. This means that as a teacher I will embrace teaching this content as it is important to Australian history and identity and when teaching students from this background I will act with an awareness of their culture.
