    Teacher Staffroom: AI in schools – what does it mean for teaching and learning?

    AI tools are becoming more embedded in students’ lives. As a result, teachers, leaders and school systems are asking: What does this mean for teaching and learning, and how should we respond? At Teacher, we know this is a topic that educators are seeking practical support on, and so this month, we’ve published a range of articles to help. In today’s Teacher Staffroom episode, we’ll take you through the key highlights, along with a few extra pieces that you won’t want to miss. Host: Rebecca Vukovic

    The decline in senior secondary arts enrolments

    Welcome to Episode 109 of The Research Files, and I've actually got 2 guests with me today – Professor Sandra Gatenhoff, Academic Lead Learning and Teaching in the School of Creative Arts at Queensland University of Technology, that's QUT of course, and Dr John Nicholas Saunders, Senior Lecturer in Education at Australian Catholic University, that's ACU. Now, their study was featured in the recent Australian Journal of Education (AJE) Special Issue on Arts in Education. In that paper (Gattenhof & Saunders, 2026), they warn the arts and creative sectors here in Australia are facing unprecedented challenges. We're going to be taking a look at what's happening in schools then in relation to that, starting with the declining enrolment numbers in year 12 arts subjects in Australian states and territories, and the implications of that. We'll also be talking about the challenge of out-of-field teaching in arts education and some of those practical supports and solutions for schools. Host: Jo Earp

    EDUtech 2026 – our reflections and conference highlights

    EDUtech is one of the largest and most prominent education and technology events on our calendar for 2026, and each year it brings together educators, school leaders and EdTech providers across K-12, higher education, and the vocational sectors. Over 2 days last week, we were there in Sydney to have conversations with the education community and hear from local and international speakers. As you’ll hear in this episode, we had our podcast mic with us throughout the entire 2 days, so we captured keynote sessions, panel discussions and even some of our chats with educators at the event. What you’re about to hear are some of our honest and raw reflections on the sessions we attended. We include some short excerpts from the presentations and links to further reading as well. Most of the recordings were done in the packed exhibition hall so there is some background noise throughout. We hope you enjoy this episode as we take you along with us! Hosts: Rebecca Vukovic, Dominique Beech

    Dr Dan Cloney on measuring learning in the early years

    Understanding how children learn and develop in the early years is key to supporting strong educational outcomes and lifelong wellbeing. Last month, the OECD released findings from the 2025 Early Learning and Child Well-being Study, or IELS, the first internationally comparable study designed to measure how children are learning and developing at age 5. The study looks across 3 key domains: foundational learning, executive function, and social and emotional skills. As we know, the early years from birth to age 5 are a critical period for building the foundations children need to communicate, regulate their emotions, concentrate, solve problems and engage with others. In today's episode, we're joined by Dr Dan Cloney, Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Council for Educational Research and Lead Researcher for IELS here at ACER. We unpack some of the key findings from the study, explore what made the assessment design unique, and discuss why it's so important to ensure every child arrives at school with the strongest possible foundations.

    Teacher Staffroom: Bringing you the latest expert insights in education

    As a listener of the Teacher podcast, you’ll know we love to speak with school staff about the incredible work they’re doing in their school settings to improve student outcomes. Equally, though, we know our audience are keen to hear from experts in the field and about important research updates. This month on Teacher, we’ve been busy covering the news of the new International Early Learning and Child Wellbeing Study, the new PISA 2029 innovative domain on media and AI literacy and National Reconciliation Week. Two of our columnists, Professor Martin Westwell and Andreas Schleicher, also published new pieces for us. Today we're going to share the details of all of these stories. Host: Dominique Beech

    A people-focused professional learning program

    In today's episode of School Improvement, we're going to hear all about the Questions for Thinking program (also known as Q4T) – the professional learning program in place at Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne. We're joined by Gus Humphries, the Q4T lead at the school. Gus is also a Humanities and Politics teacher and has been an educator for 20 years. If his name, or the name of Q4T, sounds familiar to you, it might be because you read the article Gus published on Teacher back in March on this exact topic. In the piece, Gus delved into how and why he developed this professional learning program with the aim to better harness the determination and aspiration of their dedicated teaching staff and support efficient, effective and embedded change in teaching practice. Q4T is a professional learning program that allows teachers to investigate and develop an area of their practice. It's an opt-in, confidential partnership between a partner and a participant that's focused on empowering teachers to meet student learning needs. In our conversation today, Gus expands on the 8 key ingredients the program consists of and the impact it's having on staff and school culture. Host: Dominique Beech Guest: Gus Humphries
