Indigenous Teaching at Australian Universities
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of this land, and pay our respects to the Elders past and present
Developing research-based exemplars for good practice
Welcome.
The resources on this website are designed for anyone involved in Indigenous teaching in Australian Universities - or beyond.
- Teaching exemplars based on research interviews
- Materials from a 2009 Forum on Indigenous Learning & Teaching
- Supporting resources
We define 'Indigenous teaching' broadly:
- As a teacher, you might be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent yourself, or not
- You might be teaching Indigenous students; or you might be teaching Indigenous curriculum to non-Indigenous students
- You might just want to learn more about this fast-growing area of teaching in Australia today
Whatever your interests, we welcome you.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of this land, and pay our respects to the Elders past and present.
The exemplars and resources on this site were developed as an outcome of a Teaching Fellowship awarded by the Australian Learning & Teaching Council (ALTC) to Dr Christine Asmar at the University of Melbourne. Christine's work has been in close collaboration with an Advisory Group.
Support for this website has been provided by the Australian Learning & Teaching Council. An initiative of the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment, & Workplace Relations.
