The Queensland Department of Education (Australia) was honored with the Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement in 2019 for its 10-year improvement journey which dramatically transformed the nature of instruction and achieved compelling improvements in student outcomes. In its efforts the Department has used data to inform and align decision making across the system, refined a School Improvement Model that defines roles and practices for teachers and leaders, and cultivated professional communities that support schools learning from each other.

The Carnegie Foundation launched the Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement program in 2017 to elevate clear and compelling examples of how the rigorous application of improvement principles, methods, processes, and tools solve educational problems. Each honoree has demonstrated quality in the enactment of improvement principles, methods, and tools applied to significant problems in education or to transform their educational systems or organizations.
