Summaries & explainers

This research summary presents key findings from a research project examining how specific aspects of quality relate to learning and development outcomes for children in Australia.

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 evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions to school for children with disability or developmental delay.

This research collects information from educators, teachers and leaders working in ECEC about the place research and evidence has in their professional practice.

This methodology and annotated reading list describe the process AERO used to synthesise available research to develop our family engagement practice guides.
