It is almost impossible to imagine anyone doing anything in education without assuring us first that it is ‘evidence-based’. Yet, many practitioners have told AERO that they are confused about the nature and quality of the evidence that exists and what it tells us.

Learn more about the difference between evidence and research and why evidence is important in education.

AERO recommends several resources to help educators and teachers better understand what the research says and how to make decisions about its rigour and relevance.

AERO is committed to high quality research which is produced ethically and responsibly.

Education Ministers today announced the Board and new name for the national education evidence institute: the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO).

We asked teachers, education leaders and policymakers across Australia about what the Australian Education Research Organisation should focus on.

AERO commissioned 21 online focus groups with teachers, school leaders and early childhood educators to obtain first-hand views from educators on a range of issues.
