Teaching with BlackWords: Best Practice for Teaching with Indigenous Stories

(22 November 2017)

Have you ever felt concerned, awkward about, or ill-prepared to teach Indigenous authored texts and issues in your classroom?

Would you like advice on how to respectfully use Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander stories and history in your teaching?

Do you think your teaching could benefit from a deeper understanding of the concerns and issues that First Nations writers address in their work?

The Teaching with BlackWords PD for teachers held in November 2017 was an opportunity for teachers to explore and discuss best practice methods of bringing Indigenous stories into the classroom.

Explore the Teaching with BlackWords page for resources resulting from the event.

Are you interested in exploring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences in historical and contemporary settings through great books and stories?

We invite you to join UQ’s first Stories for Reconciliation Club.

The group has no political or religious affiliations and people from all backgrounds with an interest in

• engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literature, film, documentaries, and other stories

• expanding their knowledge and understanding of current and historical Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences, are welcome.

We plan to meet and discuss a book that has relevance to Indigenous experience every 6-8 weeks in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
