The school readiness of Australian Indigenous children a review of the literature
McTurk, Nicholas
The school readiness of Australian Indigenous children a review of the literature [electronic resource] : - Melbourne, Australia : Ian Potter Foundation, 2008 - 1 online resource (53 p.) : digital file
This review seeks to explore the literature for evidence on the definition of school readiness in an Australian Indigenous context (Section 3) and effective assessment techniques of school readiness for Indigenous children (Section 4). Thereafter, salient risk and protective factors influencing the transition to school are mapped out (Section 5). This facilitates the anticipated outcome of the review: an appraisal of the effectiveness of interventions in mediating for risk factors and capitalising on protective factors that improve school readiness and transition to school in the Australian Indigenous context (Section 6).
