The purpose of the AIATSIS Guide to evaluating and selecting education resources (the Guide) is to assist educators to critically self-reflect on their positionality and support them to work from a foundation of integrity. In doing so, teachers can ensure curriculum resources selected for teaching do not cause harm to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, but rather foster trust and build a sense of pride for all.
Educators must make conscious and critical decisions when selecting curriculum resources to ensure they reflect all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The Guide will support teachers to select appropriate resources for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and languages respectfully and effectively.
