This project identifies trends, challenges and opportunities in education datasets and generates actionable insights that can support improved outcomes in schools and ECEC services.

Jenny Donovan discusses AERO's analysis of NAPLAN writing data and the importance of writing instruction. Originally published in The Mandarin.

This tool shows how the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) Language and Cognitive skill domain items align to both the Australian Curriculum (English and Maths) and the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions (NLNLP).

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.

Staff at Parramatta Marist High School (NSW), Como Secondary College (WA), Parafield Gardens High School (SA) and East Loddon P–12 College (Vic) discuss how they select staff and deliver training to support an MTSS framework aligned with AERO’s guidance.

This practice guide explains how to select and manage targeted reading interventions to support students struggling with foundational reading skills. It’s the fourth part of a series of guidance created in partnership with DSF.

This practice guide helps teachers explain complex sentences, enabling students to produce more sophisticated writing. It's the third and final in a series of guides designed to help teachers explain and demonstrate the fundamentals of writing to their students.

This practice guide helps teachers unpack the features of compound sentences, which allow students to add interest to their writing. It's the second in a series of guides designed to help teachers explain and demonstrate the fundamentals of writing to their students.

This research report uses evidence to provide guidance for secondary school leaders in making decisions about staffing, timetabling and intensity when delivering interventions in schools.

A new analysis of NAPLAN data reconfirms that while students’ backgrounds influence their literacy and numeracy achievement, their results are not wholly determined by socio-economic background.

Early literacy approaches support the development of foundational skills. This guide outlines key practices for supporting literacy in early learning settings.
