Fourth Year Primary Education Student at UON #UoNTeach

Using twitter as a tool in the development of my unit of work has opened my eyes to its value as a platform to communicate with other professionals and educators and to share and gain knowledge on a variety of topics relevant to teaching and learning. #collaboration #UonTeach

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

In developing my unit of work, I have learnt how important it is to ensure learning is authentic, meaningful and relevant to students' lives and that to do so requires effective utilisation of local community assets and knowledge.💡 #UonTeach

@POBrien79 Thank you 😀

While developing my unit of work on cultural diversity, I have realised that by using a central theme, outcomes from multiple key learning areas can be connected and addressed, promoting a deeper understanding of the topic. #integratedcurriculum #UonTeach

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

With classroom demographics reflecting greater cultural diversity, teaching practices must be responsive to the cultures of individual students (Vass, 2017). Within my project, I have strived to provide students with opportunities to explore and share their own culture. #UonTeach

If you are looking for ideas on ways to address the cross-curriculum priority of Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia, @AsiaEducation has a wide range of resources and lesson ideas. Their website has been very useful for planning my unit on cultural identity. #UoNTeach

A Bush Tucker Garden can act as a vehicle for collaboration between schools and the local community therefore strengthening teachers' cultural knowledge and understanding and enriching students' learning experiences. (Turner, Wilson & Wilks, 2017). #UoNTeach

If you are planning a school garden project, Sustainable Schools NSW have provided a multitude of teaching and planning resources to refer to. #UonTeach

Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that attempts to integrate community service with curriculum. It has shown to increase students' self-concept and promote greater connection, commitment and sensitivity toward their communities (Celio et al., 2011) #UonTeach

Multicultural school garden projects can transform entire communities by positively influencing health and wellbeing, environmental attitudes, academic performance, engagement, social skills and connection to culture (Cutter-Mackenzie, 2009). https://t.co/Aua6nktFU1 #UonTeach

Inclusive education begins within inclusive communities. Schools must seek to understand the communities they serve, their complexities, traditions and aspirations and reflect these features in school policies, curricula and practice (Hyde, Carpenter & Conway, 2013). #UonTeach

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

This is a must read. It provides details on an Aboriginal pedagogical framework known as the 8 Ways Framework which incorporates Aboriginal perspectives and learning techniques. Use of this framework goes a long way in promoting cultural identity #UonTeach https://t.co/5fPr7FMVF9

Australian Aboriginal art represents ceremonial, spiritual and cultural aspects of life (Cameron, 2015). While it is best to consult your local AECG when teaching students about Aboriginal art and culture, @JapingkaGallery has some fantastic resources for teachers #UoNTeach

[Australian Government Department of Education @AusGovEducation]

Looking for resources to teach about Australian Aboriginal art and culture? Have a look at this extensive collection at @JapingkaGallery. https://t.co/EO6BjB2q85

I have been thinking of a school project that would promote cultural identity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, their families and local communities. A Bush Tucker Garden would be an excellent way to link learning to the land, community and culture. #UoNTeach

[Isabella Gay @IsabellaGay22]

Thinking of planting a Bush Tucker Garden at your School? Well look no further as "A garden for life" provides a great educational workshop for school children and communities to experience Aboriginal culture and food. #UoNTeach #bushtuckergarden

To be globally competent in a world of increasing social, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity, students must engage in and examine culture to develop the capacity to recognise perspectives and communicate with diverse audiences (Boix Mansilla & Jackson, 2011) #UoNTeach

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

School should be a place where students feel a sense of belonging, connectedness and respect. This cannot be achieved without recognising and embracing our cultural diversity. Let's celebrate Australia's cultural diversity. Let's celebrate harmony. #harmonyweek #UoNTeach

[ABC Education @ABCEducationAU]

#Teachers, it's Harmony Week and we have a list of 5 wonderful classroom resources to help you celebrate Australia's cultural #diversity. https://t.co/0fI4GBvcjy #HarmonyWeek

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

Community-based pedagogies emphasise a mutual relationship between school and the community whereby curriculum is connected to students' lives therefore increasing student engagement (Sharkey, Olarte, & Ramirez, 2016). Let's utilise local knowledge and community assets. #UoNTeach

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

Great read on the importance of intercultural understanding for students. #UoNTeach

[ABC Education @ABCEducationAU]

We live in an interconnected, highly diverse and rapidly evolving world, so intercultural understanding is more important to students now than ever before. https://t.co/ys5cOQy9eB

[jasminekhall @jasminekhall]

This is an excellent resource on using picture books to teach intercultural understanding https://t.co/r28szwEWjo
