Teachers are reminded that a comprehensive package of Intercultural Capability resources has been produced for use in all Victorian schools. The package includes:

  • a presentation that outlines some of the challenges faced and lessons learned by participating schools. It is designed to prompt school discussions about how to approach planning and teaching Intercultural Capability
  • sample units of work based on material developed with participating schools. Where possible, annotated student work samples and assessment advice are included.

View the resources on the Intercultural Capability – teaching resources webpage.
