THE Marrunq: Aboriqinal Education Plan, Victoria's ten-year plan to
support improved outcomes for Koorie learners across early childhood,
schools, skills and TRAINING, and higher education.The purpose of the

part of the 20 hours of professional development that teachers are
required to undertake each year. Teachers should be able to summarise
the training provided and identify how it addresses the Australian

this for CUST, teachers should reference Standards 1.4 and 2.4.
