I came across this site while searching “aboriginal education”. It is a site designed and maintained by the Western New South Wales Regional Aboriginal Education Team and James Cook University in Australia. It is a pedagogical framework for teachers to be able to teach Aboriginal students in a meaningful way. It discusses and has resources about Aboriginal perspectives and how to include them into the core curriculum that is set by the school boards and governments.

New South Wales Aboriginal Ed
Here’s a site from the New South Wales Government in Australia. It is dedicated to Aboriginal Education. It provides examples of context-based teaching and learning projects to be used. It is obvious that the values of the Aboriginal people are considered. They address Aboriginal art and languages, and contextualize math, science, and literature for the students.

I found this site that is to educate people about the Yolngu people of Ramingining in Australia’s Northern Territory. The website is a great use of technology and educating others. They have provided a study guide for teachers and students. It is quite interactive and divides up the culture so that you can explore the art, music, the people, etc. It shows what is important to the people in a very easy to follow way.
