Aboriginal Studies Training and Development Does it Change Attitudes?
Abstract
Since mid 1990 I have been part of the Eastern Area Aboriginal Studies team. The “team” comprises two people, myself and an Aboriginal Education Worker (AEW), Mrs. Shirley Gollan. The role of the Aboriginal Studies team is to provide training and development in Aboriginal Studies for school communities across the Education Department Eastern Area.
