This practice resource is designed to help teachers, educators and leaders reflect on and decide whether a piece of evidence is relevant to their context and whether the corresponding approach is likely to be effective in their school, service or learning environment.

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 report aims to guide and catalyse further work towards building a better early childhood education and care (ECEC) system to serve all Australian children and families.
