Problem Statement
How might we bring innovative curriculum and Professional Development (PD) resources made by educators, for educators, in conjunction with Indigenous Knowledge Experts, into a single online resource? Creating a platform that serves as a catalyst for fostering a deeper cultural understanding between educators and the rich knowledge systems of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Idea
Design an evidence based online resource for Australian educators that combines the traditional knowledge organisation systems of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples with the established structure of the Australian curriculum. Empowering educators to navigate this rich tapestry of knowledge with confidence.
Innovation
The platform is designed to gather valuable insights over time, tracking the confidence level of educators as they utilise the resources and integrate Indigenous knowledge into their teaching. This data provides a crucial feedback loop, informing the development of future professional development programs that further support educators on their journey towards culturally competent teaching.
