Each assessment task has asked you to reflect on, and critically analyse specific elements of your standpoint through your engagement with the learning activities: that is, the social, institutional, and historical factors and forces that influence knowledge.
For this task you will take the role of an individual applying to lead the project described for the organisation you have selected from the options below.

Solution
You are submitting an expression of interest (EoI) to lead the selected project connected to the organisation you have chosen. You are required to explain your professional philosophy and demonstrate an understanding of the historical and institutional influences on the field in which the organisation operates. In addition, you will review your original assessment of cultural competence from Task 1(a) and describe how you would enact your evolved understandings in the Project Officer role. A critical part of the project is to work with local Indigenous community or groups to build connections to interpret and respond to their needs.
Ensure you include all supporting information (3 sections) including in—text references and a reference list (APA 6th ed.).
Section 1. Explain your professional standpoint as it applies to your cultural competence. (300 words)
Indigenous students face challenges today in not only western education system, but in their own as well. The competition in the present-day world continues to increase, which paves a stress on these community to prepare their off springs for tomorrow and still retain their values. I have always believed that cultural association is integral for a positive development of a being. It is believed to be associated with a positive sense of self which helps an individual grow in the community with strong sense of self-actualization.
In this age of diversity, one would assume that the children would be allowed to flourish in synchronization with their cultural values and western education goals. Yet, in most western education frameworks, the stance of aboriginal students is not very positive. This is associated with the lack of training amongst the non-aboriginal educators in managing the former as per their respective cultural values, and still ensuring their maximum output. In this interconnected world, it is important for any indigenous child to retain their cultural value and sense of self as well as community, yet also gain skills to contribute to the world at a global level. However, often the lack of awareness of the cultural values and difference in expectations of success and performance between parents and the educators can become a reason for stress, which ultimately might affect the student performance.
