This commissioned report provides an overview of the evidence underpinning a knowledge-rich curriculum and outlines the key design features and enablers to effectively enact a knowledge-rich curriculum in schools.

AERO’s submission identifies 3 evidence-based teaching practices that should form the core content basis of the ACT’s support to schools. It recommends the ACT Education Directorate work with schools to implement these practices and outlines principles and support mechanisms for this.

This project conducted a review of Australian Initial Teacher Education (ITE) delivery to understand the extent to which ITE programs integrate foundational core content.

This commissioned research report provides a summary of the recommended course content for initial teacher education (ITE) based on the research evidence base.

This commissioned research report identifies the principles and characteristics necessary for Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs to embed evidence-based teaching practices.

What can be done to create more effective transitions from birth to Year 12, to support greater continuity of learning and better student outcomes?

This explainer gives a brief introduction to cognitive load, focusing on ways to manage it for effective and efficient learning.

Evidence shows that a child-centred approach helps with successful transitions. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.

Collaboration between OSHC services and schools enhances continuity of learning and effective transitions. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.

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 the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)'s practice guide for transitions between school and OSHC. It describes the evidence base behind the guides and synthesises insights from available research.
