Program structure

Online course

The online course is comprised of five self-paced modules (that take approximately five hours in total to complete).

1. Cultural considerations
2. Teaching science inquiry skills
3. Embedding effective pedagogical practices
4. Teaching with traditional context
5. Strengthening school community partnerships.

Once the modules are completed, participants are given access to the I²S² inquiry resources and materials that can be used in different teaching contexts.

Implementation project

The Implementation project focuses on three areas:

1. Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts
2. Reflecting on I²S² implementation in the classroom
3. Student achievement data entry.

The Implementation project encourages participants to reflect on the online modules and apply the learning through implementation of an I²S² inquiry in the classroom. It provides a framework for participants to gauge the effectiveness of the inquiry in relation to students' achievement and engagement results. The project takes approximately five hours (in total) to complete.
