This professional development workshop has been created in consultation with the Australian Museum First Nations Division to address the significant changes to the History curriculum arriving in 2027.
The whole day workshop will support Stage 4 to 6 History teachers embed First Nations perspectives to create meaningful and historically rigorous lessons for their students.
Join us in exploring First Nations pedagogies, current research, and the First Nations documentary Her Name is Nanny Nellie, a powerful resource for exploring truth-telling, decolonisation and reconciliation across a range of topics in Stage 4 to 6 syllabus areas.
