VATE 2026
VATE's You Can Teach That: Teaching First Nations Perspectives series is designed to support English teachers to build their own Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural responsiveness in order to provide their students with accurate, informed and culturally appropriate context, knowledge, skills, language and pedagogies.
The You Can Teach That: Teaching First Nations Perspectives series consists of a suite of on-demand videos with First Nations academics, commentators, and writers, as well as complementary teaching resources that explore how to use the insights from each in the English classroom. The purpose of these resources is to support, inform and engage English educators in the development of their understanding and teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and perspectives in the English classroom.
These resources have been written by Emma Jenkins and reviewed by Darby Jones. The artwork for this program has been generously provided by Aretha Brown and has been reproduced with her permission. The music in this program is 'The Red Sand Sea' by Robbie Miller and is used under license by APRA-AMCOS.
The You Can Teach That: Teaching First Nations Perspectives program is funded the the Victorian Department of Education's Strategic Partnerships Program.
