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. 

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.

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

This technical report describes the creation of AERO’s Longitudinal Literacy and Numeracy in Australia (LLANIA) dataset, including the linkage process and quality assurance methods.

Improving the quality, accessibility and endurability of national school data architecture.

This user guide is for teachers and educators working in early childhood education and care (ECEC). It will help you use the learning trajectories, to strengthen your curriculum and inform your pedagogical decision-making.

This activity invites you to collect and reflect on examples from your early childhood education and care (ECEC) service, individually and with colleagues, to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the learning trajectories.

You can use this early childhood learning trajectory to observe children’s progress in social and emotional learning, and to plan the next steps in their learning and development.

Explains the domains of children’s learning and development that are covered by the early childhood learning trajectories.

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.
