Welcome to the blog for HaSS Association Australia Incorporated (HAA). This professional teachers association has been established in 2023 to support the teaching of HaSS and promote HaSS education as an important component of a balanced curriculum in schools. Whilst for many years there have been subject association across Australia for history, geography, legal studies, social education, business and environmental studies, there has not been a HaSS specific association for teachers to join. To meet this need, a group of educators in South Australia have established HaSS Association Australia (HAA).
The Mission Statement for HaSS Association Australia reads:
At HaSS Association Australia (HAA), our mission is to create an informed, dynamic, innovative and collaborative professional community of Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS) educators. HAA aims to be the united voice for HaSS Education in the political landscape and is committed to advancing quality curriculum and teaching of the HaSS subjects, including history, geography, civics and citizenship, and economics and business. Together, we strive to promote knowledge and understanding of the world within which our students live and contribute to the betterment of society through the study and teaching of the HaSS learning area.
This blog will be published regularly and aims to be a vehicle to meet the goal of HAA to support quality HaSS education though the sharing of thinking, resources and information with HaSS educators. Through comments posted from those following this blog, we also hope that it becomes a collaborative online environment for HaSS teachers to be involved with.
We sincerely hope that HAA meets the aspirations it has to see HaSS grow as a vibrant and important innovative learning area in Australian schools.
