Early childhood

Insights from mid-way through the Small-Scale Trial and how they are shaping the next iteration of the Preschool Outcomes Measure tool.

Supporting mental health and wellbeing in early learning centres and schools is a growing priority for many educators.  A multi-year evaluation of the 'Be You' initiative will help it continue to shape positive environments for children from birth to 18.

To help design the Preschool Outcomes Measure, the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is gathering feedback from teachers and educators, parents and carers, sector leaders and the wider community.  

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) has created a resource confirming how effective reading and comprehension skills develop – also dispelling common myths and providing clarity for teachers. 

The fourth season of Little J & Big Cuz will premiere on 8 July, with 10 new stories coming to ABC Kids, NITV and SBS.

ACER is working with partners to improve quality and equity in learning in the Pacific Islands.
