A guiding principle of the National Quality Framework (NQF) is that Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued. But where do we begin, and how do we enable others to understand the importance of this rich and diverse culture?

This workshop is designed to provide educators with a clearer understanding of how to to acknowledge and celebrate Aboriginal Australia. We will explore how to deliver respectful experiences of Indigenous histories, cultures and languages, and who to engage with in order to embed authentic Aboriginal perspectives into your program.

This is a great workshop for those wanting to understand: Why services and individuals should acknowledge and celebrate Aboriginal Australia, where and how to begin, and how to plan and deliver experiences for children that are also responsive to the local Indigenous community?

NB 14/12/2020: On 30 November 2020, the endorsement of all NESA endorsed providers was cancelled and registered courses were deregistered. A new policy for the Accreditation of Professional Development courses was released. The new application processes will be published and phased in during 2021. In line with this, CELA will submit an application for our courses to be re-assessed and re-accredited.

After 5 February 2021, courses will need to be accredited to continue contributing towards the maintenance of teacher accreditation requirements. CELA will continue to keep you informed and updated based on information that is progressively received from NESA regarding this re-accreditation process.

Participants must attend both sessions to be eligible for a certificate of attendance.
