Research Conference 2012 brings together key researchers, policy makers and teachers from a broad range of educational contexts from around Australia and overseas. The conference explores the theme of school improvement. It explores what defines whole school success and therefore what drives the structure and focus of a school improvement agenda. The conference draws together research-based knowledge about effective strategies in the key domains known to impact on whole school improvement efforts such as: creating a culture that promotes learning, an expert teaching team, differentiated classroom learning, effective teaching practices, analysis and discussion of data, targeted use of resources and an explicit improvement agenda. It considers the role of small scale and large scale innovation in school improvement and the importance of an alignment of efforts by governments, systems, communities, school leaders, teachers, and students.
