Pre-service teachers will engage with critical Indigenous theory to explore and examine their personal and professional knowledge and beliefs about Indigenous education. It examines the nexus between the broader role of early childhood education and care settings and schools in the local, national and global communities, especially in preparing Indigenous learners as global students.
