Promising Practices in Supporting Success for Indigenous Students

Indigenous peoples are diverse, within and across nations. However, Indigenous peoples have experienced colonisation processes that have undermined Indigenous young people’s access to their identity, language and culture. At the same time, Indigenous children have not generally had access to the same quality of education that other children in their country have had access to. These two forces in combination have undermined the educational opportunities and outcomes of successive generations of Indigenous children and young people, at times with catastrophic effect. The six Canadian provinces and territories that participated in this study, along with New Zealand and Queensland (Australia), are actively seeking to better meet the educational needs and aspirations of Indigenous students and their families. The report seeks to identify promising strategies, policies, programmes and practices that support improved learning outcomes for Indigenous students and to build an empirical evidence base on Indigenous students in education. The study investigates four areas in Indigenous education: well-being, participation, engagement and achievement in education. These outcomes are inter-connected and mutually reinforcing, and each is essential for the success of every student.

La réussite scolaire des élèves autochtones : Pratiques prometteuses (forthcoming)

Les peuples autochtones forment un ensemble très diversifié, tant à l’échelle de chaque nation qu’à celle du globe. Toutefois, tous ont connu la colonisation, qui a fragilisé l’accès des jeunes autochtones à leur identité, leur langue et leur culture. De plus, les enfants autochtones n’ont bien souvent pas eu accès à une éducation d’aussi bonne qualité que celle dont peuvent bénéficier les autres enfants de leur pays. La combinaison de ces deux facteurs a eu pour conséquence de limiter les opportunités et les résultats éducatifs de plusieurs générations d’enfants et de jeunes autochtones, avec parfois des effets catastrophiques.

Les six provinces et territoires du Canada ayant participé à cette étude, ainsi que la Nouvelle-Zélande et le Queensland (Australie) tentent de mieux satisfaire les aspirations et les besoins éducatifs des élèves autochtones et de leurs familles.

Cet ouvrage vise à identifier des stratégies, des politiques, des pratiques et des programmes prometteurs susceptibles d’améliorer l'apprentissage et les acquis des élèves autochtones. Il cherche également bâtir une base de faits empiriques sur l’éducation des élèves autochtones. L'étude porte sur quatre domaines de l’éducation des élèves autochtones : le bien-être, la présence, l’engagement et la réussite. Ces domaines sont liés et se renforcent mutuellement. Chacun d’eux est essentiel pour la réussite de chaque élève.
