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.

ECEC services often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support is available for early childhood educators to actively change their practice based on evidence.  

Our national survey has found that Australian schools often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support is available for teachers to actively change their practice based on evidence.

In formative assessment, you gather and interpret information about student learning as it is happening in your classroom. It helps you to adapt your teaching to meet student needs.

Research, and the evidence it provides, helps educators be more intentional in their practice. It also guides important policy decisions to improve children’s outcomes and life trajectories.

Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one.

This checklist is a list of practical steps teachers can take to support the adoption of the evidence-based practice mastery learning in their setting.
