Course overview
To prepare teachers and leaders to drive change in Australian schooling by examining and enacting theory in Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) that prioritises First Nations Educational Sovereignty. The course aims to: 1) Develop learners’ appreciation of POSITIONALITY through awareness of the ways in which individuals’ locations in society shape what they see. 2) Enhance learners’ awareness of POWER, and how Australian school curriculum and pedagogy constitute spaces for the renegotiation of power. 3) Deepen learners’ appreciation of PLACE for enabling students to connect what they are learning to their lived realities, communities, and Country. Workshops immerse learners in these big picture ideas and their micro-level manifestations through CRPs that are characertised by teaching that is: intellectually demanding; connected to lifeworlds; activist-oriented; multi-modal; socio-politically informed; place-based; dialogic; and world-facing.
