This Aboriginal pedagogy framework is expressed as eight interconnected pedagogies involving narrative-driven learning, visualised learning processes, hands-on/reflective techniques, use of symbols/metaphors, land-based learning, indirect/synergistic logic, modelled/scaffolded genre mastery, and connectedness to community. But these can change in different settings.

SUPPORTING STOLEN GENERATIONS SURVIVORS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES

The Healing Foundation is a national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisation that provides a platform to amplify the voices and lived experience of Stolen Generations survivors and their families.

We work with communities to create a place of safety, providing an environment for Stolen Generations survivors and their families to speak for themselves, tell their own stories, and be in charge of their own healing.

We promote trauma-aware, healing-informed practice to help government, policymakers, and workforces understand their role in intergenerational healing.

By addressing unresolved trauma in First Nations communities - trauma that was caused by colonisation and actions like the forced removal of children - we are walking alongside communities on the path to healing.

We are governed by a First Nations Board and Executive and guided in our work by our Stolen Generations and Youth Reference Groups.

Our work honours our First Nations ancestors and our future generations.

Resources

For educators

Practice notes

Koorie Cultural inclusion is a system-wide shared responsibility at all levels of our Department. In early years settings and schools, it is an important part of deepening learners' knowledge and understanding of their world, their country, their community and identity.

The Koorie Cultural Inclusion Practice Notes Resource was developed to facilitate reflection on existing Koorie cultural inclusion practices within schools - what it looks like at a whole school and classroom level. This resource provides examples of ways in which educators can enhance their practice to cultivate a culturally supportive and responsive learning environment in which Australia's First Nations Peoples contributions are visible and celebrated. It includes a school-based case study, teacher tips and leadership guidance that expands on Professional Practice Note 19 published in the teaching and learning professional practice suite in July 2019.

This professional practice note supports teachers and school leaders to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural inclusion, as an enabling foundation for learning in all Victorian Government schools.

These modules have been developed for teachers in early childhood, primary and secondary school settings. They aim to promote awareness about Koorie English and associated teaching strategies to help strengthen literacy outcomes for Koorie English speakers. The modules have drawn heavily from the Koorie English Teacher Guidance Package .

Koorie English is a recognised and valued dialect of English that is spoken by members of Koorie communities across Victoria. It embodies cultural values, concepts and mores of Aboriginal culture, some traditional words, and non-verbal communication.

It is important that teachers not only value and accept Koorie English as a dialect of English, but also regard it is a crucial link to cultural identity and wellbeing for Koorie English speakers. The Australian Curriculum, the Victorian Curriculumand Marrung: Aboriginal Education Plan 2016-2026 all state the importance of creating a culturally inclusive learning environment for Koorie students to ensure successful educational outcomes.

Many teachers and even Koorie community members themselves have said they were not aware that Koorie English is a legitimate dialect, as opposed to a 'bad' form of English that needs to be corrected.

Therefore, teachers in early childhood settings and schools have an important role to play in:

Reinforcing for Koorie English speakers in their classrooms a sense of pride in their community dialect

Incorporating Koorie English in literacy learning programs

Supporting Koorie English speakers to develop strategies to code-switch between Koorie English and Standard Australian English effectively and appropriately, depending on context and purpose.

These online modules include background information about the features of Koorie English, the correlation between language and wellbeing, and strategies to help build a solid literacy foundation for students to effectively code-switch between Koorie English and Standard Australian English.
