In this case study, an early childhood education and care (ECEC) centre director and a teacher describe their use of evidence to improve outcomes for children.

This research collects information from educators, teachers and leaders working in ECEC about the place research and evidence has in their professional practice.

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.

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.

A positive sense of belonging at school has fundamental benefits for children and young people, aiding learning and engagement. This practice guide makes recommendations based on the best available evidence.

This practice guide makes recommendations based on the best available research evidence on fostering a sense of belonging in school environments.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University. 

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.

There are many research reports, articles, ideas and resources designed to help teachers and education systems. How, though, can teachers be sure what they choose to do will work? The answer is evidence.

The Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy and Purpose (CRAAP) test helps you to evaluate non-academic sources of evidence, such as a webpage.

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.
