Description

Attracting and retaining a culturally diverse teacher workforce. This Deakin partnership with teacher, parent, and principal organisations investigates factors impacting the attraction and retention of a culturally diverse teacher workforce in public schools. Through co-designed national surveys, policy workshops, and case studies, our project examines, from sociocultural, postcolonial, and Indigenous perspectives, three teacher career transitions: from school student aspirations to initial teacher education and into schools. This interrogation of workforce supply and demand will yield significant evidence to inform policies and planning for partners, universities, and governments, and identify strategies for creating interculturally capable and culturally safe school and teacher education systems.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 3903 - Education Systems. Lead: Dr Ben Arnold
