By examining literacy and numeracy results across assessments, we can better understand the performance of Australian students over time; we can pinpoint areas of national strength and weakness and improve Australia’s educational outcomes.

This discussion paper explores the evidence supporting the Australian Education Research Organisation's (AERO) suite of classroom management resources.

Our national survey has found that Australian schools often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support is available for teachers to actively change their practice based on evidence.

This research summary explains the methodology for a data analysis of students' backgrounds and their influence on literacy and numeracy achievement.

This guide describes a set of teaching practices that have been found to improve student achievement by making instruction explicit.

This rubric outlines a set of capabilities to do with the evidence-based practice of explicit instruction.

Examples of practice demonstrate effective practice in different education settings. You can use them to think about how to apply the practice in your own context.

Implementation checklists are a list of practical steps you can take to support the implementation of an evidence-based practice in your setting.

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.

Maximise students’ on-task learning time by minimising disruptive behaviour and disengagement.

This article explores some of the factors shown to impact school staff’s readiness for change and recommends 4 promising approaches.
