Survey findings and practical guidance from an AERO and Monash Q Project collaboration

We identified 10 approaches to evidence-use commonly used by Australian school systems and sectors.

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.

We might associate ‘top schools’ with having the lion's share of academic high-achievers. However, when we look at the distribution of achievement across all students within schools and compare it to average differences between schools, the story is not so straightforward.

Using evidence-based practices (EBPs), and using them well, is a critical way to improve student outcomes. Evidence-based practices are educational approaches that are backed up by research evidence.

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.
