Mark Drummond from Cool.org is your course teacher. He has worked in the education sector for over 11 years as a classroom teacher, Leader of Pedagogy within an Ed-Tech startup and as an educational consultant. Mark is an absolute science nerd and loves talking about dinosaurs as much as he loves talking about education (which is a lot)!
Cool works with First Nations organisations and educators to help share knowledge and perspectives so that educators can confidently bring First Nations stories, cultures and histories into the classroom. This course was created in partnership with The North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance Ltd (NAILSMA).
