The Mental Elf

Dr Jenny Donovan, CEO of the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) Presentation Title: Evidence for ChangeThe Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) was established to advance an evidence-based education system. What does that mean for educators and teachers? Presumably, it implies that there needs to be some sort of change: some adjustments to practice and some shift towards greater utilisation and implementation of evidence at scale. But teachers are weary of top-down edicts that impose change without reason or support, and they are - rightly so - sceptical of the fads and grifters that come and go. So what can AERO do to effectively support changes in educators' and teachers' practices? How can it advance the generation, implementation, and use of evidence? In this talk, the inaugural CEO of AERO, Dr Jenny Donovan, will share insights about how AERO seeks to advance evidence -informed teaching practices by leveraging and enabling necessary conditions for change, as well as by supporting change at every step of the process from evidence uptake, to understanding, to implementation.
