Joining me today is Jordyn, an Aboriginal Australian Wiradjuri woman and teacher. Jordyn runs an awesome Instagram page called Learning to Ngangaanha, where she shares about Aboriginal culture, languages, lesson ideas and resources, as well as personal insights into her life as an educator.   In Australia, the teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures is one of three identified national cross-curriculum priorities. Across the Australian Curriculum, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures priority provides opportunities for all learners to deepen their knowledge of Australia by engaging in reconciliation, respect and recognition of the world’s oldest continuous living cultures. As teachers, we understand our responsibility to embed teaching and learning about First Nations Cultures across the learning areas. Within the learning area of English, Jordyn is particularly passionate about helping her students to develop an awareness and appreciation of, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literature. This includes storytelling traditions (oral narrative) and contemporary literature. In this episode, Jordyn is going to take us through ways teachers can help their students make connections to people, culture and country, to expand the breadth of their learning to focus on histories and perspective of Indigenous Australians. The Australian Curriculum website provides more information about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures priority: https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/f-10-curriculum/cross-curriculum-priorities/aboriginal-andtorres-strait-islander-histories-and-cultures/

Mr D and Bron live on opposites sides of the world, and usually, things seem pretty common in education across the geographical distance. But now, as America surges towards its peak of Covid 19 cases, Australia's Covid growth has slowed enough to ease restrictions which have been in place since April. Australian students are back at school, and about to take their winter break. American students are still awaiting news on an uncertain start to their next school year after their summer break ends in August (so far, the precise date of back to school hasn't been determined). In this episode Joe and Bron talk about the problematic situation in the States where teachers will likely need to teach remotely and in classrooms to two groups of students from the same class. This is a familiar hurdle to Aussie teachers, who have balanced remote and classroom learning over the first part of 2020.
