RISE Literature Review
RISE
The Redefining Indigenous Success in Education (RISE) Project is a 5-year Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education initiative delivered by the Aurora Education Foundation (Aurora), funded by the Paul Ramsay Foundation and developed in partnership with the Centre for Social Research Methods at the Australian National University (ANU).
The review is the first step in a research process that seeks to identify how Indigenous students and families define ‘success’ in education and will result in the development of a RISE outcomes framework and data collection instruments. This review considers how Indigenous education outcomes have been conceptualised (defined) and operationalised (measured) in Indigenous education policy and literature. This review will provide a foundation for subsequent research activities by providing context for the interpretation of existing data and guiding approaches to primary data collection which best capture Indigenous student and family perceptions of ‘success’ in education.
