Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)

AERO is excited to launch our 2025 ECEC Learning Partner project, seeking committed leaders from centre-based long day care services across Australia. Through the project, partners will strengthen their assessment for learning practices and learn about using a deliberate and structured approach to implementation. This partnership opportunity will support services to use AERO's early childhood learning trajectories – our comprehensive, evidence-based resources that align with EYLF 2.0. Who should apply: • Centre directors • Educational leaders • Cluster managers The project includes professional development, implementation support and opportunities to network with other service leaders in the sector. 🎥 Watch our introduction video below to explore how the Learning Trajectories can transform your practice.

"AERO’s resources give educators a compass to orientate their time and a pathway to invest energies into proven strategies to build a productive and inclusive learning environment. They support teachers to focus on, deliberately practice, access feedback and reflect on the elements all humans need to flourish."  Teacher Natalie Polak discusses her experience with AERO's classroom management resources. She shares the evidence-based approaches implemented and the positive effects on student engagement.   Explore her insights and learn how these resources can enhance classroom management practices: https://lnkd.in/gc-KnCGu

Before using implementation strategies, consider the key enablers and barriers! 🚧   Before diving into implementation strategies, it’s useful to carefully consider what helps or hinders your progress. By understanding these factors, schools can pinpoint what’s working and what needs adjustment, ultimately strengthening their implementation efforts.     More information about addressing enablers and barriers can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gUntH8UB       Or check out our Implementation 101 article for an overview before diving deeper:      https://lnkd.in/edcFCXYZ 

Free virtual event (Wed 8 Nov): AERO’s Principal Teaching and Learning Specialist Cate Whiting will share the evidence base behind the foundational classroom management resources.

Today we join with the nation to celebrate #WorldTeachersDay and reflect on the importance of the profession: 'The importance of our teachers cannot be overstated. AERO recognises the profound impact teachers have, equipping our young people with the knowledge and skills that are the foundations for their futures. AERO has had the privilege of working directly with many teachers in our work, as we conduct research and create resources that support evidence-based practice to improve the learning of every student in Australia.' – Jenny Donovan, CEO 

'The keynote speakers were all amazing,' one attendee shared. 'Loved AERO’s breakaway session about reflexivity and the Aboriginal learning framework completed by inspired education & Tangentyre Council.' We were pleased to both present and be part of the 10th birthday celebrations at the Little People Big Dreams conference, in Darwin on 12 October. It was truly rewarding to see our work resonate with the audience. Thank you to Child Australia for putting on such an important and collaborative event, and to all those that attended and presented that made it such a rich and engaging day. #LPBD2024 https://lnkd.in/g4iJEs-U

How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? A staged approach to implementation 🚀      Implementation unfolds in distinct stages: Explore, Prepare, Deliver, and Sustain. By recognising this is an ongoing process, schools can plan and execute their efforts more effectively, ensuring lasting change! 🌱      Using stages is one part of a deliberate and structured approach to implementation: https://lnkd.in/gKubu9mM          Or check out our Implementation 101 article for an overview before diving deeper:  https://lnkd.in/edcFCXYZ #Education #AERO #Implementation
