This resource is part of a series of 8 practice resources for assessment for children’s learning in early childhood education and care services (ECEC). Each resource is aligned with the Principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF V2.0).

AERO’s ‘science of learning and development’ project will support teachers and educators to incorporate knowledge about how brains and bodies develop into their practice, beginning with early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

This is the first in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It outlines common forms of research evidence and provides tips for what to look out for when considering research evidence.

The evidence-based practices presented in this guide can be used to support children’s transitions from before-school care to school and from school to after-school care.

This evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions between school and OSHC. It describes the evidence base behind the guides and synthesises insights from available research.

This evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions to school for children with disability or developmental delay.

The evidence-based practices presented in this guide can be used to support children with disability or developmental delay as they transition to their first year of school. It's designed to help services and schools work together to achieve more successful transitions.

This methodology outlines the processes AERO used to collect and analyse data for national research snapshots on evidence use and use of evidence-based practices in early childhood education and care.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on the use of evidence-based practices in Australian ECEC services using Q4 2021 National Quality Standards data.

Jen Jackson, Early Childhood Program Director, Centre for Policy Development, and Associate Professor of Education Policy at the Mitchell Institute at Victoria University, explores evidence use in early childhood education and care.
