Abstract

This chapter refutes negative stereotypes and takes a more positive approach to examine the experiences of Indigenous children in school. Drawing on the data collected for Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) Waves 4, 5 and 6, this chapter analyses how teachers make a difference to the experiences of Indigenous children and families. The chapter also explores the engagement of Study Children and their families with education and the school system over a number of levels. These results are also examined for differences by the level of geographical isolation where the Study Child and family resides.
