Beyond the Content - Embedding Indigenous Ways into the Classroom

Are You Ready to Transform Your Classroom Practice?

Join us on Friday, 5 September for an engaging online Teacher Professional Development workshop focused on embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into classroom teaching and learning.

This workshop will support educators in developing culturally responsive pedagogies through the following key focus areas:

• Understanding Country
  Explore the concept of Country as the first teacher and its foundational role in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

• Translating Two Worlds
  Examine the contrasts between Euro-centric and Indigenous worldviews, and consider their impact on teaching and student engagement.

• Shifting the Lens
  Discover Indigenous pedagogies—including the 8 Ways framework—and practical strategies for applying them in diverse learning environments.

• Where to From Here?
  Access tools, resources, and strategies to support ongoing, authentic engagement with Indigenous content in your teaching practice.

The workshop is delivered in two live sessions:
9:00 am – 11:00 am and 11:30 am – 1:00 pm (AEST), with a 30-minute break between sessions.

Participants will receive a PDF workbook, as well as a set of Aboriginal Topic Cards and Yarning Cards (valued at $67.90), which will be shipped in advance.

This professional learning opportunity is designed to empower teachers to foster culturally inclusive classrooms that respectfully and meaningfully incorporate First Nations knowledge and perspectives.

About the facilitator: 

Tammy Baart

As a proud Boorooberongal Dharug woman I educate, advocate for and enable all individuals to be empowered to exceed their own expectations. Over two decades of executive educational leadership experience has led to an ignited passion and drive to find the gaps in systems so all individuals are provided with the access and opportunity to succeed. Through honouring my culture to decolonise ways of being, doing and knowing, I work to create human-centred and sustainable solutions that leave a legacy everyone can be proud of.

Working across various industries, I bring people together through connection, collaboration and capitalising upon collective wisdom to create transformative workplace cultures through custom learning, development and training needs and building Cultural Intelligence.

“Tammy is a bold and courageous Indigenous woman who has the foresight and vision to push herself and in turn those she works with to greater heights. Understanding the bigger picture while knowing the little things matter is her superpower. The compassion and love she puts into the work she does with young people is contagious and endless.”
