Description

Deadly Teaching: Enhancing Indigenous School Attendance and Well-being. This project aims to significantly improve Indigenous students' school attendance, engagement and wellbeing. Indigenous students do not attend and engage in school, nor achieve educational and wellbeing outcomes commensurate with their non-Indigenous peers leading to long-term poorer socio-economic and wellbeing outcomes. This program will enable teachers to create a classroom culture where engagement and attendance are normative, thus enabling students’ wellbeing. Expected outcomes will be greater school engagement, attendance and wellbeing for students; and teaching efficacy and job satisfaction. Benefits include enabling Indigenous achievement, wellbeing and full potential; teacher retention; and Australia’s socio-economic wellbeing.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 5201 - Applied and Developmental Psychology. Lead: Prof Rhonda Craven
