As a dedicated educator, you understand the importance of incorporating diverse perspectives in your teaching practice.
To support you on this journey, Koori Curriculum offers a wide range of STEM resources specifically designed to incorporate Aboriginal perspectives in your classroom.
Their products promote an understanding of Indigenous cultures and foster a deeper connection to the land, to help you effectively embed Aboriginal perspectives in your STEM program.
Seasons
Learning about and working with your local Aboriginal seasons is a fantastic way to teach children about ecology as well as natures rhythms and patterns.
Regardless of whether these particular resources are relevant to your local nation you will be able to use them as a springboard that supports children to notice and observe natures signs and signals.
Using resources that are not from your nation also allows educators to support children’s understanding of the diversity of First Nations Peoples.
Deadly Science
The Deadly Science books explore diverse scientific subjects and make learning fun and exciting.
With beautiful images and an engaging layout, they are a great way for kids to enjoy learning about a range of important topics through the lens of Indiginous science.
A perfect addition to any school or library seeking engaging educational resources.
