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.

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

Danielle Toon, Co-Director of Evidence for Learning (E4L), shares insights and learnings from the Getting Evidence Moving in Schools (GEMS) project to help improve the use of research evidence in schools.

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This tool is designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use evidence to make decisions about a new or existing practice or program based on AERO’s Standards of Evidence.

This explainer provides an introduction to the multi-tiered system of supports framework (MTSS) for secondary school leaders and teachers looking to support students in improving their literacy and numeracy skills.
