Summary Comments:
Alexander participated actively in the initial training workshops and developed a unit of work for the series “Redfern
Now”. The unit clearly articulates an 8 Ways approach and gives teachers and students appropriate support to meet
the NSW BOSTES requirements for cross curriculum use. Alexander has also developed a full set of additional
support materials for these units which explain how and why teaching and learning is delivered in a specific
sequence. Alexander’s unit shows how teaching through Aboriginal processes and protocols, is not just about
Aboriginal content. His developed unit shows future possibilities of how Aboriginal materials and their delivery can
be undertaken in a classroom using 8 Ways. The introduction gets the attention of the audience and clearly states
the specific purpose of the unit. He clearly makes the links required in 8 Ways to learning through narrative and his
support materials give students opportunities to engage and visualise throughout the programs. The units satisfy
BOSTES requirements and show how learning is made possible through images, symbols and metaphors. Alexander
has used a range of indirect, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches, modelling and scaffolding (by working
from wholes to parts of texts), and where possible connecting the learning to local values, place, needs and
knowledge. Alexander and his commitment to Aboriginal Education a value added asset to any school.
