Abstract

The 3R’s (Respect Relationships Reconciliation) tool is a rich resource for both teachers and students to access information to include in their teaching and learning to enhance understanding and contribute to the reconciliation process (http://rrr.edu.au/). This is an important area which is of value to UTAS and will be of interest to participants.
Session Goals
Participants will be able to explore the 3R’s resource and discuss how it may be incorporated into different curriculum areas.
The 3 R’s tool is an online resource which has been developed to assist educators, it provides learning and assessment resources for teacher educators and educators generally. For example:
* Module 1: Know yourself (know your world). Know yourself (know your world) provides concepts and resources to support you as a future teacher to  understand your own unique identity and the perspectives you bring to learning and teaching about  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
* Module 2: Know your students. Know your students examines aspects of Australia’s shared history and the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, communities and perspectives, and the role schooling plays in improving educational outcomes for Indigenous students.
* Module 3 Know what you teach. Know what you teach provides concepts, learning activities and assessment tasks to support the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
