The value of evidence-based teaching practices lies in how these practices are brought to life for all students -- i.e., in their implementation. The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has developed a deliberate and structured approach to support the effective implementation of evidence-based teaching practices in Australian schools. The approach offers a way for those in the Australian education sector to strengthen how they think about and lead implementation efforts in schools. This discussion paper outlines why effective implementation matters, provides a detailed explanation of how we developed and tested our approach to implementation in schools, and signals next steps in this ongoing work. The paper consists of 3 parts: (1) Why effective implementation holds great promise for Australian schools; (2) Developing and testing AERO's deliberate and structured approach to implementation; and (3) Where to next.
