The IAA National Conference 2013 focused on how evidence can inform leadership approaches to enhance school improvement. Despite a 47% increase in spending since 2001, pupil outcomes have shown minimal improvement. The conference outlined a five-step process to apply evidence effectively: identifying school priorities, exploring potential solutions, ensuring successful implementation, assessing effectiveness, and using findings to guide future actions. With 56 funded projects impacting 1,800 schools and over 300,000 pupils, practical examples were discussed, demonstrating the potential of evidence-based strategies in education.
