The rates of students taking part in NAPLAN testing have largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels, as highlighted in the latest Analytical Insights paper released today by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO).

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

In this submission, AERO encourages the Tasmanian Government to implement evidence-based teaching practices in schools to help all students reach their full potential. It outlines the key practices that should underpin education reforms, as well as considerations for effective and sustainable implementation.

AERO’s submission identifies 3 evidence-based teaching practices that should form the core content basis of the ACT’s support to schools. It recommends the ACT Education Directorate work with schools to implement these practices and outlines principles and support mechanisms for this.

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

Students learn best in well-managed classrooms. AERO’s classroom management resources support teachers and school leaders to create safe and supportive learning environments through evidence-based practices.

Our work on how students learn best (also known as the science of learning) connects cognitive science, neuroscience and education psychology research on the learning process with practical teaching implications.
