Teaching that aligns with how students learn: AERO’s new model of learning and teaching

Aligning teaching practices with how students learn can improve education outcomes for all students.

Evidence from cognitive science, neuroscience and education psychology provides insight to the processes that occur during learning, which helps explain why some teaching practices are more effective than others across diverse schooling contexts.

AERO has developed new resources around how students learn to help educators make decisions informed by a deeper understanding of the learning process and implications for teaching. This session will introduce AEROs new model of learning and teaching and explore how it can be used to frame a cohesive, comprehensive, and practical approach to developing practice. 

Nuella Flynn will share AERO’s role in supporting Australian teachers and leaders to use evidence to inform and enhance practice and discuss with participants development opportunities to maximise impact on student outcomes.
