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.

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.
Explainer

Explicit instruction optimises learning

This explainer provides an introduction to explicit instruction, with a focus on explaining how it contributes to positive outcomes for students’ learning achievement and dispositions.

How students learn best: An overview of the evidence

This paper highlights the impact aligning teaching practices with how students learn has on educational outcomes. It underscores the importance of evidence-based practices that enhance learning for all students.
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.
