Professional Learning

Use the Narragunnawali professional learning resources to build staff awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions, and to support the implementation of reconciliation initiatives.

The activities suggested in the resources are designed to be teacher-led and can be used individually, in small groups or during staff meetings.

Each resource is linked to the National Quality Standard (early learning) and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (primary and secondary) and aligns with Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Actions.

In addition to this resource suite, consider also registering for a Narragunnawali webinar to further your professional learning experience.
