This practice resource offers examples of intervention programs and resources Australian secondary schools can use to support students struggling with reading and unpacks strengths and weaknesses of each. It forms part of a series of guidance created in partnership with DSF.

This explainer provides an introduction to the multi-tiered system of supports framework (MTSS) for secondary school leaders and teachers looking to support students in improving their literacy and numeracy skills.

In this article, Adam Inder shares findings from AERO’s Implementing Effective Tiered Interventions in Secondary Schools' project.

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.

This guide aims to help secondary school leaders and teachers assist students in Years 7 to 9 who have significant gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

New research from the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and Monash University has identified a potential solution that could dramatically improve learning for those students who are significantly behind their peers.

This review aimed to identify gaps in knowledge about supporting students behind their peers in Years 7 and 9.

See how Amber Turner, a French teacher at Alfred Deakin High School, uses spacing and retrieval practice in her classes.

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

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?

Spacing and retrieval involves separating learning over multiple lessons and providing opportunities for students to recall what they have learned. This helps to commit learning to long-term memory.
