Course overview
This course assists learners to understand and proactively navigate the increasing cultural diversity of Australia’s student population amidst policy frameworks grounded in an Anglo-Centric norm. It explores critical pedagogies for cultural diversity and is grounded in awareness that Frist Nations sovereignty is the starting point for all Australian teachers. The course draws from a rigorous literature base that includes sociology, history, and politics of education and pursues two fundamental aims: 1) to develop learners’ sociological imaginations, or the capacity to look beyond the individual to appreciate the relationship between personal experience and wider society. And 2) to engage learners in culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) informed by deep awareness of these contexts and their macro-micro manifestations. Learners are supported to work collaboratively and develop their own CRP practice informed be a critical sociological imagination.
