Applying ‘Learning from Country’ to the Curriculum

A professional learning day for all teachers K-12

This unique Teachers Professional Learning experience provides educators with the opportunity to ‘Learn from Country’ with local Aboriginal experts on Sydney Harbour, and apply this to the curriculum with experienced Aboriginal Studies teachers & lecturers at the historically significant precinct – the Block. These new knowledges, understandings and skills will be workshopped with reference to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cross-curriculum priority and the NSW syllabuses. Participants will need to bring a teaching program, unit of work or assessment task to get the most out of this experience.

The University of Sydney – Sydney School of Education and Social Work is endorsed to provide NESA Registered Professional Development for teachers accredited at Proficient Teacher and Highly Accomplished Teacher.

Completing Applying Learning on Country to the Curriculum will contribute 5hrs of NESA registered PD addressing 1.4.2, 2.4.2, 3.7.2, 6.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
