Acknowledgements

The School Performance Improvement Frameworks (SPIF) Project was a national collaborative project funded by the Australian Government to support the implementation of the Smarter Schools National Partnerships. This collaboration enabled jurisdictions to share experience in developing, implementing, evaluating and improving school performance improvement frameworks and support tools and processes. The project also explored approaches to systemic and professional learning to support the implementation of school performance improvement frameworks.


An Expert Working Group (EWG) was established with representative membership drawn from participating jurisdictions. The EWG performed the decision-making functions at a strategic level, with members also undertaking operational tasks within their individual jurisdictions to fulfil the objectives and deliverables of the project. Their valuable contribution to the outcomes of this project is acknowledged.
