This report discusses the findings of a study conducted by AERO and ALNF into the effectiveness of a peer mentoring approach for delivering professional learning to educators and teachers in early childhood education and care services.

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 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.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on the use of evidence-based practices in Australian ECEC services using Q4 2021 National Quality Standards data.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on evidence use in Australian early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

This methodology outlines the processes AERO used to collect and analyse data for national research snapshots on evidence use and use of evidence-based practices in early childhood education and care.

Explains the domains of children’s learning and development that are covered by the early childhood learning trajectories.

This report aims to guide and catalyse further work towards building a better early childhood education and care (ECEC) system to serve all Australian children and families.

ECEC services often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support is available for early childhood educators to actively change their practice based on evidence.  

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