A provisionally registered teacher (PRT) should consider individual children’s progress in relation to the learning and development outcomes and/or the Victorian curriculum. Part of this consideration includes any modifications the PRT makes to their practice to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners to access the learning.

The evidence of this may be found in the learning programs and experiences as well as lesson and unit plans.

To assist PRT’s in meeting the requirements of 1.4, mentors can encourage them to

• observe an experienced teacher’s practice and / or approach to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner
• discuss the strategies that they would use as a teacher to support any learner who is of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent

•  to access resources such as: Teaching learners from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds
•  attend webinars specifically targeted to assist teachers to recognise and implement strategies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners
