The Learner-Lead Curriculum in Aboriginal Schools

My students live in three remote Aboriginal community. It is my job to teach them English and the other Primary school subjects. My aim is to produce bi-lingual and bi-cultural individuals. By giving them the ways and means to access white Australian society, they are more able to make an informed decision about the life-style they want and feel confident to interact with white Australia. Many students rarely do more than one or two years at the high school in Alice Springs so there primary education is very important. Students from remote communities rarely do well academically.
