Teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies or Perspectives …

- - - - For English, it is a little bit more difficult to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, but there are still many opportunities, such as studying different texts created by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including films, books, and art.
      - HASS is the learning area that probably gives teachers the most opportunities to explicitly teach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. There are various units of study in the History curriculum that offer plenty of opportunity to include Aboriginal an Torres Strait Islander perspectives, particularly when looking at protest movements or the European settlement of Australia.
- - - - -Students will be active and informed citizens who are aware of the issues that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have struggled with in the past and are struggling with today. :pen:
      - -Students will understand the importance of reconciliation, and will support change that moves towards reconciliation. :silhouettes:
      - -Students will have a respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, and will understand why events such as Australia Day are seen by many people as being insensitive. :forbidden:
      - -Students will understand the lasting impact that the Stolen Generations has had on many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and will understand why Kevin Rudd’s Apology was a significant moment in Australia’s history.
    - - Critical and creative thinking - students will be able to engage critically with discourses about European settlement
      - Intercultural understanding - students will understand and consider different perspectives on European settlement.
      - Personal and social capability - students will appreciate and empathise with different perspectives on the consequences of European settlement and what it means for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today.
    - - I would use a range of different assessment types, including formative, summative, Informal and formal. I would focus more specifically on informal formative assessment, since this is the most practical for assessing student understanding on the go.
