Imbedding Aboriginal Education into the Curriculum
How? Teachers are invited to revisit the syllabus documents for the answers (see below). __HSIE__ ** __LITERACY__ __SCIENCE__ __NUMERACY__ __PDHPE__
 * Kindergarten to Year Six**
 * Aboriginal education can be woven through a numeracy lesson, HSIE, PDHPE or a literacy lesson.
 * Fo r example, the BOS HSIE K-6 Foundation Statements [|(pages 16-17)] provide advice for ES1 to S3. Take a [|COGs]unit of work and revise it to suit...add NSW Quality Teaching elements, "8 Ways" elements, consult your local Aboriginal community member/s or the local AECG and you are on your way.

 * Years 2-6 literacy lessons can be enhanced by incorporating Aboriginal narratives beyond the simple re-told "//How the Kangaroo got it's Tail//" versions. Explore [|Dust Echoes] to find how stories were used to teach not just entertain Aboriginal children, or here at [|The Australian Museum] . Further investigations into artworks can expose the purpose behind Aboriginal carvings and paintings. Perhaps it was to serve as a "road sign" or as a diary entry or to teach children ways of living and surviving. Aboriginal iconography can assist in de-coding and "reading" art, (and it is necessary and correct protocol to source the correct language group) but examples can be found at this website for [|Central Australia]
