Teaching Resources
This project is designed to educate, inform and up-skill educators as they begin to incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into their practice.
It explores the broader ideas of what is meant by caring for country and connection to country.
It covers a range of frequently asked questions to help educators overcome some of the barriers to teaching these perspectives, and to help educators go about incorporating these perspectives in a respectful and meaningful way.
The Land Education Dreambook is intended for organizations and groups who are interested in developing land education programs for youth.
These resources are designed as a guided process to lead you through different aspects and topics that may be helpful in visioning and planning your program.
