How leaders and boards use performance evidence to set priorities, monitor progress, and adjust early. High performing schools use performance data to drive focus—not confusion. This session reframes the Annual School Performance Summary and Improvement Priorities as a leadership and governance tool, not a compliance requirement. Participants will explore how effective schools translate reflection into clear priorities, measurable drivers, and leadership response rules that guide decisions throughout the year. Using an ADE model example, the session illustrates how boards and leaders can monitor progress, stay aligned, and adjust early to improve outcomes.
