Case study research of 12 schools in NSW on the quality of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content instruction

Effective pedagogical recommendations that counter objectified narratives of Indigenous culture and perspectives.

To summarize:

Low-quality instruction can teach a dangerous metalanguage about Aboriginal people.
Complex personhood provides a lens for viewing the diversity of Aboriginal knowledges and perspectives.
Use the present tense when discussing Aboriginal cultures
Quality instruction is rooted in the local and lived experiences of Aboriginal people.
Teachers should engage contemporary and diverse representations of Aboriginal people
Parents, Elders and community members should be engaged as community liasons and teachers.
Contact the local AECG to build the relationship with the local Aboriginal community

This resource outlines the importance for schools and teachers to consider their hidden curriculum and the messages these are sending to students, families, and the broader school community. Ensuring they are being flexible within their classroom practices to meet the diverse needs of minority learners.

To summarise:

The hidden curriculum in most parts will reflect the white dominant education rules, regulations, and practices, including the values and belief systems of mainstream society.
A teacher’s classroom resource selection should consider the messages they are sending to students – the lack of inclusion of Aboriginal histories and culture will reflect Aboriginal culture and traditions as unimportant or irrelevant, directly impacting Indigenous students
There is a ‘mismatch' between Aboriginal home life and school life due to the competing cultural skills and characteristics that are considered normal at home however disabling in mainstream education.
This can lead to Indigenous students feeling a loss of cultural identity.
Teachers should take time to understand their Indigenous students’ cultural histories, including, meeting families, and engaging them in the classroom and school community.
The curriculum aims to increase student knowledge and learning, however, this must not be at the expense of cultural histories, languages, and identity.
The importance of contextualised learning, which involves including Indigenous cultural perspectives within classroom practice.

-Indigenous perspectives must be incorporated into classrooms in an authentic manner, not a tokenistic or performative way.
-Teachers must form close and genuine connections with Indigenous Elders and community members.
-Teachers must have a comprehensive understanding of culturally responsive pedagogies and approaches to schooling to embed this knowledge into their teaching practice. Thus, attending workshops to learn from Indigenous community members and setting aside time to plan teaching and learning sequences, alongside Indigenous community members, is necessary.
-Fostering an ongoing focus, across the entire Curriculum, on Indigenous perspectives encourages the decolonisation of education.]]> 2021-09-08 12:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/memoran5/Bookmarks/wish/1724671608 KESO (Koorie Engagement Support Officer) samuelfhoward https://padlet.com/memoran5/Bookmarks/wish/1726290401 Koorie Engagement Support Officers (KESOs) are an important support for Aboriginal students in the Victorian state education system.
