priorities including: building the breadth, depth and reach of our research; expanding professional resources; enhancing our international presence; building our work in non-school education and the award of qualifications; and addressing disadvantage through partnerships and alternative funding sources.  \nResearch Conference 2012, on the theme  \nSchool Improvement: What does the research tell us about effective strategies? was ACER’s largest conference to date, with more than 1200 delegates discussing improvement agenda, expert teaching teams and practices, differentiated classroom learning, use of data and targeted uses of resources.  \nInternationally, ACER managed Australia’s participation in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment; the United Arab Emirates (UAE) National Assessment Program for the UAE Ministry of Education; the International Computer and Information Literacy Study for the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement; and delivered the national reports for the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study.  \nIn Indigenous education, ACER published Making a Difference: Improving outcomes for Indigenous learners to highlight our work on improving learning outcomes for Indigenous Australians.  \nACER published Measure for Measure, a comprehensive analysis drawing on major national and international assessments to better understand changes in the achievement levels of Australian students. We also continued to work with the National Australia Bank and the Foundation for Young Australians on the NAB Schools First national program to recognise outstanding school-community partnerships.  \nIn the vocational and workplace education and training sector, ACER brought together senior decision makers and","cbCaiqdyQwOXmQ31","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqdyQwOXmQ31","pdf",5126949,44,"English","# From the CEO\n## Spotlight on the Science of Learning\n## Contents\n## Research Projects\n## Staff Publications\n## Financial Summary\n## ACER Board of Directors\n## Organisational Structure\n## ACER Staff","[{\"question\":\"What is ACER’s mission according to the report?\",\"answer\":\"ACER aims to create and promote research-based knowledge, products, and services that improve learning across the life span.\"},{\"question\":\"How does ACER pursue its mission?\",\"answer\":\"It contributes internationally to engage learners in appropriate challenging opportunities, support highly skilled learning professionals, strengthen learning communities, and enable people to achieve their potential regardless of circumstances.\"},{\"question\":\"What major activities and collaborations does ACER highlight in 2012–2013?\",\"answer\":\"The report features a large research conference, management of participation in international assessments, work on Indigenous education outcomes, major achievement analyses, partnerships such as NAB Schools First, and learning-science research through partnered research centres.\"}]","ACER Annual Report 2012-2013 | PDF",1789908870,111]
