Description:
The current curriculum requires teachers to include First Nations perspectives. However, school systems, curricula and expectations are set by modern practices that have been introduced after European settlement. There is often conflict between the existing systems and First Nations perspectives. This session will explore the educations systems and societal assumptions that underpin the approach to curriculum formation. It is an important starting point to ensure that we engage authentically with First Nations perspectives throughout the curriculum. The presenter will build on the ideas that they presented in their article in the TLN Journal - Steps to Reconciliation (email [email protected] for a copy).
