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 research summary presents key findings from a research project examining how specific aspects of quality relate to learning and development outcomes for children in Australia.

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.

This practice resource is designed to help teachers, educators and leaders reflect on and decide whether a piece of evidence is relevant to their context and whether the corresponding approach is likely to be effective in their school, service or learning environment.

This tool is designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use evidence to make decisions about a new or existing practice or program based on AERO’s Standards of Evidence.

This is the first in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It outlines common forms of research evidence and provides tips for what to look out for when considering research evidence.

This is the second in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It provides information about the types of print and online resources that contain research evidence, as well as using common library and online search tools.

This is the third in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It provides advice on tools and strategies for assessing research evidence.

This is the fourth in a series of 4 practice guides designed to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice. It provides advice for making decisions about implementing a new approach, as well as links to additional resources and information.

This project identifies trends, challenges and opportunities in education datasets and generates actionable insights that can support improved outcomes in schools and ECEC services.

This report explores the experiences, in early childhood education and care and at home, that appear to contribute to more equitable outcomes for emerging multilingual children.
