1) Purpose: As one of the Australian Curriculum’s cross-curriculum priorities is ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures’ this assessment item provides students with the opportunity to apply the requirements of this priority to a lesson plan. In doing so, students will also gain a deeper understanding of the AITSL standards relating to Indigenous students.

2) Process: To develop students understanding and to practice of embedding Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander perspectives in lesson plans designed for mainstream classrooms, students are required to research and critically analyse one Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander resource from any language group of their choosing. Students are to provide a 300-word analysis of the resource with supporting evidence from the relevant literature. Students will then select a year level and subject area and develop a lesson plan for a mainstream classroom. The lesson plan should be culturally appropriate and embed the researched Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander perspective. The lesson plan should clearly meet the ACARA cross-curriculum priority’s requirements and state the relevant AITSL standards.

A template will be provided.
