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

This report details how children's learning and development progresses in the early years of school, using findings from national linked data from the Australian Early Development Census and National Assessment Program.

This document summarises key findings and recommendations from an analysis of Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data conducted by AERO in 2022.

This tool shows how the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) Language and Cognitive skill domain items align to both the Australian Curriculum (English and Maths) and the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions (NLNLP).

Literacy and numeracy are critical foundations, equipping students to access learning in all other parts of the curriculum.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University. 

This report presents findings from AERO’s scoping work to understand how student wellbeing is measured in Australia. It highlights opportunities to improve effective data collection and use.

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

A positive sense of belonging at school has fundamental benefits for children and young people, aiding learning and engagement. This practice guide makes recommendations based on the best available evidence.
