Making Visible: Aboriginal perspectives in the Victorian Curriculum F–10

The VCAA recently ran a series of webinars titled 'Making Visible: Aboriginal perspectives in the Victorian Curriculum F-10'. Partnering with key stakeholders, the VCAA's aim was to provide teachers and the Koorie Education Workforce with a comprehensive program of professional learning webinars that covered how teachers could incorporate Aboriginal perspectives across different curriculum areas in both primary and secondary school settings. Advice was also included about working with policies, protocols and the teaching about the perspectives of the history and cultures of the First Nation peoples in a localised and Victorian context, plus each webinar provided useful resources to assist classroom implementation.

Bushfire Education

The VCAA provides bushfire education resources aligned to the Victorian Curriculum F–10. These resources are based on the four themes of learning about, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from bushfires, to better prepare all young Australians for the challenges of living in a country that regularly experiences bushfires.

Webinars were held to introduce teachers to these resources and to show teachers how they can implement elements of the F–8 Geography and Science curriculums using the VCAA Bushfire Education website.
