Improving teacher education for better Indigenous outcomes - PREEpared - Partnering for Remote Education Experience (Final report May 2019)

The PREEpared – Partnering for Remote Education Experience project (formerly known as Improving Teacher Education for Better Indigenous Outcomes) was an initiative seed-funded by the Department of Education (formerly the Office of Learning and Teaching, OLT) in 2016–2017 and conducted by a project team from Monash University. Data were collected and resources developed in collaboration with a number of teacher educators across Australia who formed the main interview pool, and several members of a diverse expert reference group, whose experience provided a vital, critical reflection on the project’s deliverables. The guiding principle for this project was to respond to the staffing needs of remote Indigenous schools and ensure graduate teachers are well-equipped and expertly prepared to work and teach inclusively within and for diverse geographic communities. The project has responded to this aim by providing a central ‘go to’ website that houses both curriculum and professional experience resources for all initial teacher education providers to access and use
