Ngarrngga

Curriculum innovation meets indigenous knowledge in one simple platform

Ngarrngga - the Taungurung word meaning to know, to hear, to understand - is a unique project with the vision for all Australian students to have the opportunity to connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, histories and cultures. Conceived to go beyond being a website or simple resource library. It is an ongoing research initiative that was envisioned as a launchpad for building a vibrant educator community, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Innovation

The platform is designed to gather valuable insights over time, tracking the confidence level of educators as they utilise the resources and integrate Indigenous knowledge into their teaching. This data provides a crucial feedback loop, informing the development of future professional development programs that further support educators on their journey towards culturally competent teaching.

“In designing the website, it was important to ensure that it met some very diverse and at times, conflicting priorities. While it was to be user friendly and visually engaging, it also had to function as both a repository for curriculum and research. It had to house educational resources meeting curriculum and education policy standards while showcasing Indigenous Knowledges”
