Study of history and racism in the new curriculum

Sarah, the Coordinator of the Clifton Hill CRT Support Network, has put up a very interesting post.

With the new Australian curriculum comes a focus on areas for which some teachers do not feel adequately prepared. One such area is that of the cross-curriculum priority 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures'.  The priority will provide "opportunities for all learners to deepen their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the world's oldest continuous living cultures. 

 This post is well worth a read!
