About this Unit
The unit is only offered to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education program. This unit is designed to build on students’ sociological understandings of primary schooling and how it impacts on First Nation peoples.. The unit builds on experiential, theoretical and curriculum knowledge developed in the course. Schools have a long tradition of working with communities at the ‘chalkface’ of social change. Such relationships are complex, evolving and spatially/ temporally different because of a local/global sense of place and the socio-political context. Possibilities for promoting socially just practices for different communities are therefore contingent upon a range of strategies for inclusion. This unit examines theoretical frameworks that can assist in understanding the complexities of these processes and will incorporate a 5 day community engagement activity involving First Nation peoples.
