QUT EX course facilitator

Your expert facilitator Alison Quin

Alison Quin is of Tagalaka descent, and developed an awareness of the complexities, contradictions and power of education for First Nations people when she became a high school English teacher. Since then, her work in education in First Nations communities and at universities has focused on how to bring Australia’s two traditions of knowledge-making and learning together, with a special interest in online learning contexts. She has taught students of education and teaching for many years, focusing on the development of practical skills relating to pedagogy and curriculum principles in Indigenous education.

Core concepts

In this workshop, participants will be given an introduction to the key ideas and practices in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education. They will learn respectful, informed and practical strategies to:

  • explain First Nations' understandings of Country, Peoples and the relationships between all things;
  • connect First Nations' perspectives to teaching practice;
  • develop an action plan of next steps to further your own teaching practice.

This course includes an optional live 30-minute webinar with the facilitator. The webinar will also be recorded for participants to watch in their own time.

QUT EX course testimonial

As a 'veteran' teacher, I thought I knew a lot about First Nations' Perspectives for Teaching & Learning...

This course reminded me that I have to keep revisiting and adding to my knowledge. The activities really pushed me to think & re-evaluate what I know and do. I was particularly interested in the 'Purpose' section of the course & ideas such as teachers knowing original terminology, how to pronounce words & terms etc. Yes, surface level knowledge is not enough if we/I am serious about this as a valuable academic discipline.
