In this article, Adam Inder shares findings from AERO’s Implementing Effective Tiered Interventions in Secondary Schools' project.

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This guide aims to help secondary school leaders and teachers assist students in Years 7 to 9 who have significant gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

New research from the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and Monash University has identified a potential solution that could dramatically improve learning for those students who are significantly behind their peers.

This review aimed to identify gaps in knowledge about supporting students behind their peers in Years 7 and 9.
