Effectiveness of a locally developed cultural responsiveness tool for Australian teachers.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Australian Indigenous students are underperforming academically. Northern Territory students show the most significant underperformance. Few studies investigate resources for preparedness of teachers to cater to Indigenous students. This study aimed to test a teacher tool created to support teacher professional development. The study participants comprised of teachers, department staff, registration board representatives, and education lecturers. Most respondents believed the tool had potential to improve cultural competence and suggested other improvements. The low response rate from teachers could be considered a limitation of the study but findings contribute to literature on teacher efficacy and Australian teacher development in reducing Indigenous disadvantage.
