The Stronger Smarter Approach
We all know what needs to happen for transformative change in Indigenous education, but very little has been written about ‘how’ we can achieve this. The Stronger Smarter Approach provides a framework to lead educators through the ‘how.’ With this framework, we can rewrite the narrative of our schools to one of engagement, belonging and achievement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Stronger Smarter Approach
The Stronger Smarter Approach elevates Indigenous education outcomes through thoughtful leadership and actionable strategies. Our framework, outlined in the Position Paper, integrates Cornerstones, Spheres of Influence, and Meta-strategies to drive transformative change in schools.
Stronger Smarter Cornerstones
Rewriting the narrative is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. It needs a deep understanding of local contexts and has to privilege the voices of our local communities. It needs great leadership in our schools. It needs every educator to hold a deep sense of personal responsibility for change. The four cornerstones of the Stronger Smarter Approach describe how if we do things slightly differently, if we point the compass in a slightly different direction, we can end up in a place of transformative change.
Enacting the Approach
Our Jarjums Position Paper provides information about enacting the Stronger Smarter Approach in the Early Years. Our reports provide information about how alumni are enacting the Approach, and our reading reviews provide a deeper dive into the literature and how that aligns to the Stronger Smarter Approach.
