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

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.

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.

Numeracy is the application of mathematical concepts, with skills developing along trajectories from birth. This guide outlines practices to support numeracy in early learning settings.

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

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.

Formative assessment is a teaching practice that evidence says makes a difference. In this video, Sue Davis explains how she uses formative assessment in her maths lessons.

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.
