Mentorship Circles is a project by Southern Cross University in partnership with MATSITI (More aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander teachers Initiative). It aims to:
- survey Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers employed in early childhood services
- identify a representative sample to participate in a model for professional development called, ‘Mentorship Circles’
- undertake quantitative research (ie. national survey) and qualitative research (from the Mentorship Circles) to contribute to the existing, but limited research regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood teachers.
- collate this research as advice for government; employers; providers of professional development; and
- provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early childhood teachers with relevant resources and activities regarding career satisfaction, sustainability and progression.
