It is almost impossible to imagine anyone doing anything in education without assuring us first that it is ‘evidence-based’. Yet, many practitioners have told AERO that they are confused about the nature and quality of the evidence that exists and what it tells us.

This is the second in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It provides information about the types of print and online resources that contain research evidence, as well as using common library and online search tools.

To understand which wellbeing programs and practices adopted by early childhood education and care (ECEC) services and schools improve children’s outcomes, it is necessary to measure and track children’s wellbeing.
