The continuum provides a shared language and understanding of the non-linear process of building cultural responsiveness.
The purpose of this continuum is to assist educators and school leaders to critically reflect on and develop their ability to be more responsive to the knowledge, skills, and cultural identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. It should be used by educators and school leaders to understand how their biases and assumptions affect practices, behaviours and attitudes in ways that adversely impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and to educate all students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and languages. The aim is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to feel culturally safe at school and for the teaching profession to celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and cultures.
