Guides & resources

This video demonstrates how teachers scaffold practice in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Supports – known as scaffolds – consist of guidance from the teacher and tools and resources the student can use. Scaffolds can be designed during planning (planned scaffolding) or introduced during lessons to respond to learning needs as they arise (contingent scaffolding). Teachers select and use scaffolds to support each phase of the learning process as students retain, consolidate and apply their learning.

This video demonstrates how teachers revisit and review student learning in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Revisiting learning is the practice of regularly coming back to content that’s already been taught. Revisiting learning can activate prior knowledge to connect new learning with what students already know (from their previous learning at school, in the community and at home). Importantly, revisiting what’s been taught consolidates new learning.

This video demonstrates how teachers provide varied and spaced opportunities for students to practise their learning in alignment with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. Varying the ways students practise consolidates learning better than repeatedly practising in the same ways. Spacing out practice over time supports long-term retention and fluent recall by helping to manage cognitive load.

This video demonstrates how teachers can support students to organise their knowledge, aligning with AERO’s model of teaching and learning. When students have opportunities to organise and re-organise their knowledge in memory, and understand the connections between the ideas they learn about, they develop mental models in long-term memory that become easier to recall and apply widely in increasingly complex ways.

This module provides an introduction to key implementation concepts to help school leaders and implementation teams consider the implementation of evidence-based teaching practices in their setting.

This editable PowerPoint supports school implementation teams to facilitate a whole-staff session to identify and prioritise enablers and barriers in their context.

This practice guide steps implementation teams through the process of planning to implement evidence-based teaching practices in their school.

This worked example has been created as a supporting resource for school implementation teams to refer to when developing their own implementation plan.

This practice guide steps implementation teams through the process of systematically identifying and responding to enablers and barriers in their context.

This template helps implementation teams develop a plan for implementing evidence-based practices in their school.

This video highlights how evidence-based practices can be integrated into a fast-paced daily review routine, with a focus on literacy. The sequence of teaching shown takes place in a Year 2 classroom at Serpentine Primary School – a government school approximately 60 km south-east of Perth, on Gnaala Karla Booja Country.

This practice guide will help teachers provide opportunities for all students to extend their knowledge and demonstrate mastery of learning objectives at various stages in the learning process.
