framework-for-aboriginal-languages-and-torres-strait-islander-languages
The overall rationale for learning Aboriginal languages and Torres
Strait Islander languages in Australian schools is that they are the
original languages of this country. Through learning them, all students
gain access to knowledge and understanding of Australia that can only
come from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander perspective. The
languages by their nature embed this perspective. Learning to use these
unique languages can play an important part in the development of a
strong sense of identity, pride and self-esteem for all Australian
students.
"Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action" Peter Senge.
The Sangora Education Foundation
The Sangora Education Foundation was established in 1991 to promote excellence in education, better understanding and cooperation between the people of Australia and those of other countries through education and learning, and opportunities for the study of society and culture through the provision of grants, awards and scholarships. I would like to thank the Sangora Education Foundation for awarding me the Language Teachers Award 2015. Lola Jones
