There are three parts to this assessment. You will
1. Review 3 resources relevant to your teaching context that you can use in your classroom. You are to critically examine whether they are valuable resources to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.
2. Design 3 lesson plans/learning experiences that demonstrate how you use Indigenous resources into your own classroom practice.
3. Write a reflective essay explaining why it is important to embed Indigenous pedagogy and perspectives in your lessons, ways to link Indigenous knowledge to curriculum, and inclusive strategies to engage all learners.
Part A - Review of 3 Indigenous resources (1000 words)
