Strategies to enhance schools' readiness for change
This is the second research snapshot in a series that summarise learnings from readiness for change research undertaken as part of the Getting it Right from the Start (GIRFTS) project. It outlines strategies school leaders can use to increase their school’s readiness for change and highlights real-life examples from the GIRFTS project.
Explainer
Addressing enablers and barriers to implementation
This explainer is the third in a series of 5 on the key components of a deliberate and structured approach to implementation. It outlines the importance of understanding and responding to school-specific enablers and barriers to implementation.

Explained: The key components of implementation
How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Schools are increasingly aware that evidence-based teaching practices will improve students’ outcomes. But, of course, knowing about evidence-based approaches isn't enough. Schools need to know how to adopt these practices successfully to gain the improvements they want to see. The 'how' is just as important as the 'what'. In this article, we explore the concept of implementation and share the key implementation components we’re using with schools.
Explainer
Monitoring implementation outcomes
This is the fifth and final explainer in a series of 5 on the key components of a deliberate and structured approach to implementation. It outlines the process of monitoring implementation outcomes, including success outcomes schools can monitor, how these can be aligned with enablers and barriers, and methods for collecting data.
Explainer
Taking an evidence-informed approach to implementation
This explainer is the first in a series of 5 on implementing evidence-based practices in schools. It outlines how schools can take a deliberate and structured approach to implementation based on key ideas from the research evidence.
Explainer
Using a staged approach to implementation
This explainer is the second in a series of 5 on implementing evidence-based practices in schools. It outlines the key ideas for taking a staged approach to implementation.
Explainer
Using implementation strategies
This explainer is the fourth in a series of 5 on the key components of a deliberate and structured approach to implementation. It outlines processes, frameworks and methods for selecting and prioritising implementation strategies.
Discussion paper
Strengthening the evidence on how GenAI can improve teaching and learning
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.
Research report
A knowledge-rich approach to curriculum design: Commissioned report
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.
Explainer
Knowledge is central to learning
This explainer provides an introduction to the role of knowledge in learning, implications for effective teaching, and describes how building background knowledge facilitates higher-order thinking and learning outcomes.
Explainer
Managing cognitive load optimises learning
This explainer gives a brief introduction to cognitive load, focusing on ways to manage it for effective and efficient learning.
Practice guide
Effective strategic plans: Setting goals and targets for student learning
This practice guide is the first in a series of 4 on developing and applying effective strategic plans and provides practical steps for setting goals and targets for student learning.
