This paper is the third in a series of Analytical Insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

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

This report presents the findings from a rapid literature review of the barriers to school attendance and the reasons for student absence.

This report presents the findings from a rapid literature review of approaches, programs and interventions that promote student attendance and address student absence.

This report presents the findings of AERO’s rapid literature review on the effects of the evidence-based teaching practices formative assessment, explicit instruction and mastery learning on student achievement across contexts.

This is the second research snapshot in a series that summarise learnings from readiness for change research undertaken as part of the Getting it Right from the Start (GIRFTS) project. It outlines strategies school leaders can use to increase their school’s readiness for change and highlights real-life examples from the GIRFTS project.

AERO is working with a small number of schools to learn about a deliberate and structured approach to implementing evidence-based practices in different school contexts. This discussion paper shares our early insights from this work.

This discussion paper identifies 5 priority research projects about generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in education and invites the education research community to partner with us. Working together we can better understand how to harness GenAI tools to reverse growing inequity in student learning outcomes.

This research report uses evidence to provide guidance for secondary school leaders in making decisions about staffing, timetabling and intensity when delivering interventions in schools.

This commissioned report provides an overview of the evidence underpinning a knowledge-rich curriculum and outlines the key design features and enablers to effectively enact a knowledge-rich curriculum in schools.

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 discussion paper explores the evidence supporting the Australian Education Research Organisation's (AERO) suite of classroom management resources.
