This discussion paper identifies 5 priority research projects about generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in education and invites the education research community to partner with us. Working together we can better understand how to harness GenAI tools to reverse growing inequity in student learning outcomes.

This practice guide explains how to select and manage targeted reading interventions to support students struggling with foundational reading skills. It’s the fourth part of a series of guidance created in partnership with DSF.

We found less than 1 in 5 students who perform below the national minimum standards in literacy and numeracy in the Year 3 NAPLAN tests catch up and stay caught up.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University. 

Explicit instruction is a teaching practice that evidence says makes a difference. In this video, Melissa Garstang-Leary explains how she uses explicit instruction in her English lessons.
