How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Schools are increasingly aware that evidence-based teaching practices will improve students’ outcomes. But, of course, knowing about evidence-based approaches isn't enough. Schools need to know how to adopt these practices successfully to gain the improvements they want to see. The 'how' is just as important as the 'what'. In this article, we explore the concept of implementation and share the key implementation components we’re using with schools.

This article introduces how evidence-informed teaching methods can support student learning and skill development. Learn about the interplay between evidence and classroom realities, common misconceptions, and how the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) is helping teachers and leaders.

In this article, AERO Principal Teaching and Learning Specialist Cate Whiting shares practical guidance and tools to help teachers and school leaders most effectively teach for how students learn, in safe, supportive and well-managed learning environments.

In this article, AERO CEO Dr Jenny Donovan discusses how AERO is supporting teachers and educators to maximise student learning in their classrooms using AERO's evidence-based classroom management resources.

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.

Our Research Agenda outlines our annual research priorities. The agenda is developed in consultation with the education community and approved by our Board and a meeting of Education Ministers.

Welcome to AERO's brand-new website! Find out about some of the changes and highlights.

What can be done to create more effective transitions from birth to Year 12, to support greater continuity of learning and better student outcomes?

Note: nominations for the First Nations Expert Reference Group closed as at 20 November 2023. The group will ensure AERO's contribution to education research, policy and practices meet the needs of First Nations communities.

We found less than 1 in 5 students who perform below the national minimum standards in literacy and numeracy in the Year 3 NAPLAN tests catch up and stay caught up.

AERO's submission included an overview of how student wellbeing is measured in Australia and highlighted opportunities to improve data collection and use of data in decision-making.

AERO is committed to using evidence to achieve excellence and equity in educational outcomes for First Nations children and young people. We can only realise this commitment by building positive relationships with First Nations peoples and communities and embedding reconciliation in our culture.
