Embedding Aboriginal Perspectives - Possum Skin Cloak teacher professional learning allows educators to become more familiar with Possum Skin Cloak and how it was used in traditional contexts, the purpose, process, and techniques.
Content will be facilitated by a Speaking in Colour Education Consultant followed by a hands-on workshop with possum and includes making a keep-sake to take back to services/schools (arm band).
Educators will have the opportunity to work (sew, design, and burn) on a larger scale project such as a baby blanket. Teachers have access to lesson ideas linked to assessable outcomes across multiple syllabi and stages and will receive SIC merchandise for participating in this course.
