We are a collective of researchers at four Australian universities working in partnership with eight schools and local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to improve teachers’ understandings and professional practices so they can better meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, their families and communities.
The CNS project asks:
What strategies can schools and teachers use to support deep and genuine cultural inclusion in learning and improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students?
Through simultaneous practice and research, we support schools and communities to co-design curricula, teaching practices and school environments that improve the educational achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners and foster strong and healthy identities for students.
