How does a national agency support the effective implementation of evidence, particularly at scale? Learn how the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) plans to address the implementation challenge.

Schools and services often have cultures of sharing and discussing evidence, but less support exists for practitioners to actively change their practice based on evidence.

AERO’s ‘science of learning and development’ project will support teachers and educators to incorporate knowledge about how brains and bodies develop into their practice, beginning with early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

Research, and the evidence it provides, helps educators be more intentional in their practice. It also guides important policy decisions to improve children’s outcomes and life trajectories.

AERO and Ochre Education have entered into a new partnership agreement to provide Australian teachers with engaging, high-quality instructional resources that support effective evidence-based practices.

Gabrielle Sinclair, CEO of the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), provides insight into 'what works' for continuous quality improvement in early childhood education and care.

The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) recently surveyed teachers across Australia about how often they used specific teaching strategies.

Children’s transitions from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to school can have lasting effects on their learning and development.

Our experiences in the early years shape the developing brain, laying foundations for lifelong learning and resilience.

Writing proficiency is central to student success during the school years, and it influences personal and vocational outcomes post-school. The importance of writing as a communication and learning tool cannot be overstated.

Dr Jen Jackson, Program Director at AERO, explains how simple and effective it is to integrate science into ECEC practice, debunking several myths about the science of early childhood pedagogy along the way.
