Description: | |||
This unit provides students with an overview of Indigenous Australian social, historical and linguistic contexts and an insight into intercultural relationships to assist them to work effectively with Indigenous Australian children and their families. It explores the cultural and social factors that impact on the lives of Indigenous Australian children. Family socialisation, patterns of language, health issues and the significance of relationships are explored in relation to their impact on the care and education of Indigenous Australian children and youth. Factors such as history, social justice, racism and representations of Indigenous people, and written, oral and graphic discourses are also examined in this context. This unit develops in students the skills and strategies to enable Indigenous Australian children to reach their potential in both Indigenous and mainstream cultures. Full Unit Outline | |||
