The invisible parents project - exploring the barriers to effective parental and community involvement in three Northern Territory Schools

北领地的教育成果，特别是土著学生的教育成果，远远落后于其他澳大利亚人的教育成果，以至于这种情况可以被视为国家紧急情况。这项研究计划将探讨如何提高父母的参与。这将通知史密斯家庭的努力，进行早期干预的儿童谁是在教育失败的风险。它将为达尔文和凯瑟琳的学校提供食物的农村和区域社区带来好处，并通过对成功的学校成果的决定因素作出人类学方面的知情知识的重大贡献，为国家带来好处。

Education outcomes in the Northern Territory, particularly for Indigenous students, lag far behind those of other Australians, to the point that the situation can be considered a national emergency. This research program will explore ways to improve parental involvement. This will inform the Smith Family's efforts to undertake early intervention for children who are at risk of education failure. It will provide benefits to the rural and regional communities who feed schools in Darwin and Katherine and provide national benefits through making a significant contribution of anthropologically-informed knowledge on the determinants of successful school outcomes.
