This video demonstrates how teachers monitor progress in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Monitoring students’ progress by checking for understanding helps you determine what they know and can do, identify gaps in their learning and adjust your teaching to meet their needs. It helps you create a learning environment where students feel safe and supported to be active participants in the learning process, and better equips you to provide valuable feedback.

This video demonstrates how teachers revisit and review student learning in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Revisiting learning is the practice of regularly coming back to content that’s already been taught. Revisiting learning can activate prior knowledge to connect new learning with what students already know (from their previous learning at school, in the community and at home). Importantly, revisiting what’s been taught consolidates new learning.

This video demonstrates how teachers provide varied and spaced opportunities for students to practise their learning in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Varying the ways students practise consolidates learning better than repeatedly practising in the same ways. Spacing out practice over time supports long-term retention and fluent recall by helping to manage cognitive load.

This video demonstrates how teachers can support students to organise their knowledge, aligning with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. When students have opportunities to organise and re-organise their knowledge in memory, and understand the connections between the ideas they learn about, they develop mental models in long-term memory that become easier to recall and apply widely in increasingly complex ways.

This video demonstrates how evidence-based practices can work together in a geography lesson where students are building on previous learning to describe barriers to improving human wellbeing. The sequence of teaching shown takes place in a Year 10 humanities classroom at Aveley Secondary College – a government school approximately 30 km north-east of Perth, on Wadjak Noongar Country.

This video takes place in a Year 1 classroom at Briar Road Public School – a government primary school in Airds, about an hour south-west of Sydney, on Dharawal Country. The sequence of teaching shown demonstrates how evidence-based practices can work together in a lesson where students are learning to split numbers into their place value parts to solve addition problems. The teacher models the procedure and then guides students to practise.

This video demonstrates how evidence-based practices can work together in a lesson to consolidate students’ use of conjunctions in writing. Students will draw on their growing knowledge of sustainable land management to complete writing tasks. The sequence of teaching shown takes place in a Year 5/6 classroom at Riverwood Public School – a government primary school approximately 25 km south-west of Sydney, on Dharug Country.

This practice guide steps implementation teams through the process of planning to implement evidence-based teaching practices in their school.

This practice guide will help teachers to develop teaching and learning plans that will maximise the opportunity for students to successfully acquire new knowledge and skills, and for teachers to be ready to respond to their changing learning needs.

This practice guide will help teachers engage with families to support learning.

This practice guide will help teachers understand their role in supporting a multi-tiered system of supports.

This practice guide will help teachers understand how to demonstrate care and high expectations for students and build positive relationships with them, their families and communities.
