This discussion paper synthesises evidence related to intentional teaching in early childhood.

This paper is the third in a series of Analytical Insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

This report presents a summary of the evidence on approaches shown to improve access to ECEC services in regional and remote areas. It identifies 8 approaches as having the potential to improve access to ECEC services in regional and remote thin markets.

AERO was commissioned by the Education Ministers to investigate student attendance in Australian schools.

This report presents the findings from a rapid literature review of approaches, programs and interventions that promote student attendance and address student absence.

This report presents the findings from a rapid literature review of the barriers to school attendance and the reasons for student absence.

This report discusses the findings of a study conducted by AERO and ALNF into the effectiveness of a peer mentoring approach for delivering professional learning to educators and teachers in early childhood education and care services.

This report presents the findings of AERO’s rapid literature review on the effects of the evidence-based teaching practices formative assessment, explicit instruction and mastery learning on student achievement across contexts.

This is the second research snapshot in a series that summarise learnings from readiness for change research undertaken as part of the Getting it Right from the Start (GIRFTS) project. It outlines strategies school leaders can use to increase their school’s readiness for change and highlights real-life examples from the GIRFTS project.

AERO has been working closely with a small number of schools to learn about a deliberate and structured approach to implementing evidence-based practices in different school contexts. This discussion paper is the first in a series that shares our early insights from this work.

This technical report presents the findings from a study that uses large-scale data to examine how specific aspects of quality in early childhood education and care relate to learning and development outcomes for children in Australia.

This discussion paper identifies 5 priority research projects about generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in education and invites the education research community to partner with us. Working together we can better understand how to harness GenAI tools to reverse growing inequity in student learning outcomes.
