A great activity for any classroom this week!! 🤩

To support conversations, activities and events this Reconciliation week, we've created a free 'Signs to Support Reconciliation Week' resource.

👉https://kwsa.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Signs-to-Support-Reconciliation-Week_v2.pdf

It includes important and topical key concepts and signs, including a new sign for 'Sorry Day'. Key Word Sign Australia would like to thank Joanna Agius from Deaf Aboriginal Services for helping us learn and understand the meaning behind this sign as we developed a new line drawing. You can learn more about this sign and its importance by watching this video https://youtu.be/j_6NsKPRnnI

HOT TIP OF THE WEEK! 🔥🔥
Use Differentiated Instruction: Modify your teaching methods, materials, and assessments to accommodate diverse learning needs. Offer multiple ways for students to engage with the material, such as visual aids, hands-on activities, and auditory explanations.
