AERO has been working closely with Australian schools and systems to learn about promising approaches for implementing evidence-based teaching practices in different school contexts. This discussion paper is the second in a series that shares insights from our work with schools in the Learning Partner project.

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

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

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

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.

The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has published a series of resources to help school leaders take a deliberate and structured approach to implementing evidence-based teaching practices.

This template helps implementation teams develop a plan for implementing evidence-based 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 explainer is the third in a series of 5 on the key components of a deliberate and structured approach to implementation. It outlines the importance of understanding and responding to school-specific enablers and barriers to implementation.

How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Schools are increasingly aware that evidence-based teaching practices will improve students’ outcomes. But, of course, knowing about evidence-based approaches isn't enough. Schools need to know how to adopt these practices successfully to gain the improvements they want to see. The 'how' is just as important as the 'what'. In this article, we explore the concept of implementation and share the key implementation components we’re using with schools.

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.
