Introduction
To enhance, develop, and improve your school’s Indigenous programmes requires
a good understanding of your school’s context and current education data.
Does the IEW in your school have access to your school’s data? How much
information is shared about your school’s context and how it is affected
by its surroundings? Do you create opportunities to discuss this information
strategically?

The following activities have been designed to assist with
the improvement of your partnership. These activities have been developed
in consultation with over 200 school Principals and IEWs from around
Australia. We hope that you, like those 200, find them useful and
worthwhile.
