AERO and Ochre Education have entered into a new partnership agreement to provide Australian teachers with engaging, high-quality instructional resources that support effective evidence-based practices.

Gabrielle Sinclair, CEO of the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), provides insight into 'what works' for continuous quality improvement in early childhood education and care.

The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) recently surveyed teachers across Australia about how often they used specific teaching strategies.

Children’s transitions from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to school can have lasting effects on their learning and development.

Our experiences in the early years shape the developing brain, laying foundations for lifelong learning and resilience.

Writing proficiency is central to student success during the school years, and it influences personal and vocational outcomes post-school. The importance of writing as a communication and learning tool cannot be overstated.

Australia needs high-quality evidence in early years education that can guide policy and practice decisions and help to improve children’s outcomes and life trajectories.

Dr Jen Jackson, Program Director at AERO, explains how simple and effective it is to integrate science into ECEC practice, debunking several myths about the science of early childhood pedagogy along the way.

Our Strategic Plan outlines how we will work towards our vision for Australia to achieve excellence and equity in educational outcomes for all children and young people through effective use of evidence.

Our Research Agenda outlines our annual research priorities. The agenda is developed in consultation with the education community and approved by our Board and a meeting of education Ministers.

Findings from AERO’s recent survey help us to understand how early childhood teachers, early childhood directors, school teachers and school leaders use evidence in their work.
