Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education (Enhanced Edition): An Introduction for the Teaching Profession

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: An Introduction for the Teaching Profession introduces pre- and inservice teachers to core considerations for working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and communities in school-based settings. This practical educational resource explores social, historical and cultural contexts and offers comprehensive strategies for recognising and integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander approaches in primary and secondary curricula. Using the personal accounts of the authors as a starting point, this third edition features an extensive range of pedagogical features including applied learning activities, critical thinking questions and case studies based on authentic life experiences. Short-answer and review questions facilitate independent as well as group study, allowing readers to explore and reflect upon the core themes and thinking points of each chapter. All chapters have been fully revised and two new chapters, on the Arts and Science, broaden the coverage of this important textbook. Engagingly written by a respected and experienced author team of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics and education practitioners, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education continues to be an essential resource for students and teachers.
