BlackCard is a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated business. Its programs are informed and guided by Aboriginal terms of reference and are based on all the knowledge that Aboriginal people have accumulated, developed and have practiced over the many thousands of years.

Participants will deepen their knowledge of Aboriginal perspectives and learn to apply skills that improve their cultural capability to engage more effectively and strengthen relationships with Aboriginal people. Teacher resources and pedagogical approaches that align with the Aboriginal Terms of Reference and the National Curriculum will also be unpacked during the full day program.

This program is ideal for any teacher seeking to develop their skills relating to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers descriptors 1.4 and 2.4, including those working towards Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher Certification.
