You will explore and utilise education programs which have successfully engaged with learners from Indigenous and traditionally oriented societies and achieved improvements in their education outcomes. You will also develop broad knowledge, understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and languages. You will develop skills and insights into how to engage learners from Indigenous and traditional communities and create partnerships to improve learning outcomes.
