Abstract

Since teachers' decisions potentially have consequences for learners' future educational and life opportunities, it is imperative to determine the basis of teachers' decision-making in order to determine whether it is discriminatory. This study combines qualitative and quantitative methods towards a multi-school, multi-region study of Australian teachers in order to consider if student placement decisions made about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners are influenced by factors beyond academic ability.
