Need help evaluating a resource?

The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Guide to evaluating and selecting education resources is designed to support teachers with selecting quality and culturally appropriate curriculum resources. The guide features the AIATSIS Resource Evaluation Framework that teachers can use as a critical reflection tool to consider:

  • whether Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participated in the development of the content
  • how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are positioned in the content
  • best practice for producing your own resources.
