Mastery learning is a teaching practice that evidence says makes a difference. In this video, Sue Davis explains how she uses mastery learning in her mathematics lessons.

This report discusses AERO’s 2022 analysis of NAPLAN student writing data – the most extensive investigation into this area ever conducted in Australia. 

This is a summary of findings from AERO’s 2022 analysis of student writing data – the most extensive investigation into this area ever conducted in Australia. 

A new analysis of NAPLAN data reconfirms that while students’ backgrounds influence their literacy and numeracy achievement, their results are not wholly determined by socio-economic background.

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.

This research summary explains the methodology for a data analysis of students' backgrounds and their influence on literacy and numeracy achievement.

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.

Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one.

This checklist is a list of practical steps teachers can take to support the adoption of the evidence-based practice mastery learning in their setting.

This example uses a Year 9 Physical Education lesson to demonstrate effective practice in different education settings.
