The aims of the SIG are to:

• provide an inclusive and accessible forum for educational researchers interested in issues of educational effectiveness and equitable improvement in schools and their communities, including new as well as established researchers;
• stimulate and support collaborative, high quality research amongst SIG members;
• prompt and co-ordinate communication between SIG members, key stakeholders and funding agencies with an interest in issues of educational effectiveness and equitable improvement;
• raise awareness of research in educational effectiveness and improvement;
• promote the conduct and dissemination of research in educational effectiveness and improvement;
• enable collaboration between SIG members and educational researchers working in other disciplines on issues of common interest/concern; and
• create a point of contact for comparable groups within educational research associations internationally (such as EERA, AERA and AARE).
