Letter to the editor: teaching from the heart

Play all audios:


There needs to be a specific course or a large section of teacher's course devoted to teaching in remote schools. It needs to not be just about the educational components, but giving


prospective teachers a survival kit for working in remote schools. For example, these courses or parts of courses need to have Aboriginal Australian people from these communities talk about


what things must be observed. They also need experienced teachers from these areas to talk about their experiences and what they have learned. At the end of it, a two-week work experience


stint in a remote school like how teachers do a practicum now.
