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.

Students learn best in well-managed classrooms. AERO’s classroom management resources support teachers to create safe and supportive learning environments through evidence-based practices.

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 national snapshot presents findings on the current use of evidence by teachers and leaders in Australian schools. We examine attitudes towards evidence, and challenges and enablers in using evidence.

Our work on how students learn best (also known as the science of learning) connects cognitive science, neuroscience and education psychology research on the learning process with practical teaching implications. 

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.

This paper is the second in a series of analytical insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

Literacy and numeracy are critical foundations, equipping students to access learning in all other parts of the curriculum.

AERO is collaborating with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) to examine readiness for change.
