Aspects of a trauma informed approach

This written piece is from an assignment in my elective topic Creating Calmer Classrooms at Flinders University in 2015. It is evidence of my knowledge and understanding of how to recognise signs that a student has experienced trauma, the impact of trauma on learning and development, and how my teaching practice can be trauma informed.

This demonstrates achievement towards focus area 1.1 and focus area 1.2.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN TEACHING AN AUSTRALIAN LANGUAGE IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL SETTING LOCATED IN THE QUEENSLAND TOOWOOMBA REGION AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

This research project demonstrates achievement towards the following focus areas

  • focus area 1.4 as it shows my research into developing a program relevant to the local community that is relevant to the linguistic and cultural background of Indigenous students
  • focus area 2.4 because the intended program can only be implemented with the support of the community and Aboriginal Elders promoting collaboration and reconciliation

The following research document details information on the local Indigenous languages in Toowoomba, relevant curriculum documents, policies and protocols in implementing an Indigenous Language program, issues, best practice, benefits to students and introducing Indigenous languages through other key learning areas.
