Deputy Principals of Curriculum from  \nparticipating schools were interviewed regarding their perceptions of the improvement of Year 12 student achievement outcomes, and their insights into how to strengthen future efforts (or achievements). Three  \nkey insights included: Communication of achievement data to key  \nstakeholders in the school community, strategic use of achievement  \ndata by teaching staff, and leadership strategies to promote an  \nachievement culture to the students. The findings of this research will serve to improve and strengthen practice at participating schools and  \nto stimulate discussions in other schools about the effective use of  \nachievement data.  \nIntroduction  \nIt is apparent that achievement data are readily available in most Australian states and territories. What is not so apparent is the ability and willingness of educators to make effective use of these data to inform educational practices, and consequently, improve teaching and learning. The issue is not about which data to use and how to access these data, but rather how to use data strategically within a given context to assist in the teaching and learning function. This is especially significant if ultimately the aim of education is to cater for the needs of each individual student. Masters (2010) suggested that:  \nA high priority is given to the school-wide analysis and discussion of systematically collected data on student outcomes, including academic, attendance and behavioural outcomes. Data analysts consider overall school performance as well as the  \nperformances of students from identified priority groups; evidence of improvement/regression over time; performances in comparison with similar schools (p. 3) .  \nAll achievement data should be used to inform general trends at system, local school and individual classroom levels, as well as for the benefit of the individual student. Campbell and Levin (2009) considered data-informed decision making as a key professional skill for all educators – including teachers and principals – in understanding and applying data to inform improved actions and outcomes. The importance of leadership should not be understated when considering the conditions which need to be explicitly developed and administered in the context of dynamic, culturally diverse educational communities (Copland, 2002; Supovitz  \nVol 39, 5, May 2014 99  \nAustralian Journal of Teacher Education  \n& Klein, 2003; Wayman & Stringfield, 2006a; Young, 2006). Leading to succeed is philosophically founded on the informative use of achievement data for all, ","cbCaioVF6IaYrMkD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioVF6IaYrMkD","pdf",150031,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Purpose of Research\n# Research Questions\n## Overarching Question\n## Sub-question\n## Refined Questions\n# Review of Literature","[{\"question\":\"What research approach was used to study Year 12 achievement data use in schools?\",\"answer\":\"The study used qualitative action research.
