About the Evidence Briefs
The Evidence Briefs represent the major themes that emerged from the initiative, many of which relate to the schooling provided in the six communities WCE worked with. Whilst they are specific to the communities studied, they provide useful lessons about comparable remote contexts. The Evidence Briefs are as follows:
- Taking a mutually respectful approach to practice
- Forming partnerships with impact
- Building parental engagement with formal education
- (a) Providing culturally safe school environments, (b) Employing culturally competent teachers and principals
- Incorporating Indigenous curriculum and pedagogy
- Investing in English language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)
- Ensuring intercultural education practice
- Mobilising Indigenous leadership and governance
- Supporting mentoring for Indigenous students
- Maximising the contribution of local Indigenous teachers
