Aboriginal Education Unit Personnel
Senior Curriculum Officers have responsibilities for early childhood
education, literacy, numeracy, retention, Aboriginal studies, cultural education, cultural awareness and developing inclusive practice.
In carrying out these responsibilities they work with school staff,
individual teachers and students, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. They are
involved in a number of special programs and projects as well as providing
support for Aboriginal Studies programs. A Visiting Speakers' Program provides
Aboriginal elders, artisans and artists to work with students and teachers.
Cross-Cultural Awareness Programs
Koori consultants conduct a limited number of Cross-Cultural Awareness
Courses for teachers each year. All Aboriginal pedagogical programs have a
compulsory one-day cross-cultural component for staff involved. The 2001 program
has been inclusive of senior administrators, school and district office
personnel.
