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. This research summary shares some preliminary learning from work the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) commissioned on developing wellbeing and belonging measures for children aged 3 to 8 years.

In this article, AERO CEO Dr Jenny Donovan discusses how AERO is supporting teachers and educators to maximise student learning in their classrooms using AERO's evidence-based classroom management resources.
