Partnering with Learning First, we investigated issues influencing the effective use of evidence in policy development through a desktop review and interviews with senior policymakers.

This project aims to use research to help schools and school systems support students struggling with literacy and numeracy.

AERO submission to the Productivity Commission inquiry into the National School Reform Agreement (NSRA)

Highlights reforms needed to ensure pre-service teachers are equipped with the knowledge and skills to implement evidence-based teaching practices

There is broad consensus in the research community that certain practices such as formative assessment and explicit instruction improve student outcomes. But these practices are often complex and hard to implement, involving many different elements.

This rubric outlines a set of capabilities to do with the evidence-based practice of explicit instruction.

How do we close equity gaps in learning and development, and best support children from disadvantaged backgrounds to catch up to their more advantaged peers?

How does a national agency support the effective implementation of evidence, particularly at scale? Learn how the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) plans to address the implementation challenge.

This practice guide provides evidence-based, practical advice for teachers on how to teach sentence combining in the context of their classrooms.

Schools and services often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support exists for practitioners to actively change their practice based on evidence.

AERO’s ‘science of learning and development’ project will support teachers and educators to incorporate knowledge about how brains and bodies develop into their practice, beginning with early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.
