Professional Development for Indigenous perspectives

Professional Development is being offered to schools in each region for Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Perspectives in Schools (EATSIPS) for all administrators and educators in schools.

Participants will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the EATSIPS approach and to take part in action planning for embedding Indigenous perspectives in their own school context.

EATSIPS involves a whole-of-school approach incorporating Indigenous ways into all the practices and process of the schools through the areas of personal and professional accountabilities, organisational environment, community partnerships and curriculum and pedagogy.

These are full day workshops.

Teams from schools are encouraged to attend:

administrator e.g. principal, deputy;
key teachers such as Head of Department or Head of Curriculum and
Indigenous Education workers e.g. Community Education Councillor Indigenous teachers aides

For more information about opportunities to participate in these workshops see contacts below:
