LEADING INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES IN THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM |
This major event will be held on November 12, 2010 at the Sydney Citigate Central Motel. The development of the National Curriculum is an enormous opportunity for schools across Australia to engage in processes to ensure their teaching programs reflect their local community voice whilst sitting within the new national framework. This conference will bring together school leaders, teachers, community members, academics, students, consultants and system representatives. It will bring together policy and good practice to give participants a wide view of the new directions of school-based practical approaches to process. More information and registration here.
WHAT MAKES AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL? |
The sixth annual Dare to Lead Excellence in Leadership in Indigenous Education Awards were presented in Brisbane two months ago. Now there is an e-publication detailing the work occurring in each of the winning schools, explaining their strategies and successes. Click here to download.
