@kate_eviva @LisaJBryant@JasonClareMP The ACCC report and draft PC report make it clear that NFPs face barriers to expanding into new sites. They need access to targeted capital grants that recognise that the market is leading to underserved communities.
Some of the biggest modern challenges in education could be overcome through play-based learning, speakers at the recent Australian Council for Educational Research Conference have shared.

some tremendous content in mathematics and STEM, including leaning progressions, assessments, concept development for members of @maths_vic@aamtinc and @MathsNSW
I’ve had the privilege these past three years of building a team that is trying to contribute to a more evidence-based education system. It’s not an easy job, but it’s one of the best across the country if you wake up every day and wonder: “how could this be better?”
@acereduau@spc_cps Really interesting findings about the simple relationship between #ECE participation and school achievement - more to unpack about the ECE systems in the pacific and the children and families they are reaching (and who is missing out)
Much interest lies in the growth in educational achievement that occurs over the course of a child’s schooling. Can the #Rasch Growth Model be used to measure differences in achievement trajectories? #Free2Read in June. @ACARAeduau@acereduau@dr_dan_c https://t.co/m0xEVc4Cl4

How do we make sure every child experiences a quality early education and continues to learn well with good transitions throughout their education? Find out more at Research Conference 2023. This Teacher article shares more about what to expect.
Even more than this, @zidman - measurement precision is maximised when the probability of responding correctly is 50-50. We build adaptive tests that aim to balance this level of challenge with engagement and motivation such that the best test is one where students score 60-70%
Well-constructed tests have low floors (so even students who struggle the most can be assessed) & high ceilings (so the most advanced students can be differentiated). Giving marks like 47/100 passing grade can reflect good testing practice. (1/3)
Poor equity in the #ECEC system is reducing the impact we are having on Childrens' learning. The unequal access to quality reduces our impact as a whole.
