Abstract
cultural competency teacher education pre-service HPE teachers cultural immersion
In countries such as Australia, there has been an increased focus on graduate teachers to have the knowledge and be able to demonstrate their understanding of the impact of culture and cultural identity on the educational outcomes of their students (AITSL, 2012). As such, cultural competence has become an integral component of exit requirements for all Preservice teachers (PSTs). While there is no oneagreed way to integrate this into the training curriculum of preservice Health and Physical Education (HPE) teachers, immersion programs have been identified as one possible way. This presentation will demonstrate how an international cultural immersion program is effective in helping to develop cultural competency within preservice HPE teachers.
