About Us

evidencebasedteaching.org.au is an independent platform created to support Australian educators with trustworthy, practical, and research-based teaching strategies. Our goal is to help teachers improve student outcomes using methods that are proven to work—not just trends or opinions.

Our Mission

We aim to bridge the gap between educational research and real-world teaching. By offering practical tools and easy-to-understand resources, we empower teachers to make informed decisions that benefit every student.

Who We Are

We are a team of education writers, researchers, and professionals committed to improving teaching across Australia. Our work is based on:

  • Reliable research from trusted sources like AERO (Australian Education Research Organisation) and Evidence for Learning
  • High-impact strategies that are backed by data
  • A strong belief that every student deserves high-quality teaching

What We Offer

We provide:

  • Clear strategy guides on effective teaching techniques like explicit instruction, formative assessment, feedback, and retrieval practice
  • Research summaries that explain what works in classrooms, without the jargon
  • Toolkits and checklists to help teachers implement ideas straight away
  • Case studies from Australian schools showing how evidence-based methods have improved learning

Why It Matters

Recent NAPLAN results and national reports show that many Australian students are falling behind, especially in literacy and numeracy. Our resources aim to:

  • Raise awareness about what actually works in education
  • Help teachers cut through conflicting advice
  • Focus on strategies that support all learners, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds

Our Values

  • Evidence first: We only promote practices supported by solid research
  • Practicality: Our content is designed to be used immediately in classrooms
  • Equity: We believe every child, no matter their background, should have access to quality education
  • Transparency: We clearly cite our sources and keep our content up to date

Who It’s For

Our website is built for:

  • Classroom teachers
  • School leaders
  • Pre-service educators
  • Anyone interested in improving learning outcomes through evidence-based teaching

If you’re a teacher who wants to use proven strategies, reduce guesswork, and focus on what matters most for students—then this is your space.
