John Guenther is a senior researcher at the Batchelor Institute who recently co-authored a paper in The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education evaluating the impact of the Direct Instruction (DI) program in remote schools. He spoke to Jarvis Ryan about his findings and what they reveal about problems in how governments approach Indigenous education.
Two important reports raise questions about the excessive focus on the Direct Instruction teaching method in a number of remote schools.
The Australian Education Union represents and advocates for all teaching staff in public education, as well as many support workers.
