First Nations Australia Teaching Resources
At Teach Starter, we are committed to providing resources that assist teachers in embedding the cross-curriculum priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures across the curriculum. We strive to provide resources that are relevant, culturally informed, and culturally sensitive. We are continually learning by engaging in professional development sessions to inform our resource creation, and we will continue to improve our knowledge of how to provide the best possible resources for you and your students. We would encourage you to use our First Nations Australia resources in conjunction with input from your local First Nations community members.
