At the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO), we’ve recently had the privilege of fostering research partnerships focused on understanding how to enhance evidence-based practices in classrooms.

This research summary provides an overview of how professional learning can influence and support the use of evidence-based practices in schools and early childhood education and care (ECEC) services, to enhance learning outcomes. It outlines early evidence from one of our research projects on coaching.

Since publishing our guidance on a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) for lower secondary schools in mid-2024, we've received many questions from primary school teachers and leaders seeking clarity on how MTSS applies to younger students. This article addresses those questions, bridging the gap between our existing secondary-focused resources and the needs of primary schools.
