Strategic use of data to inform school evaluation and improvement

This training workshop, designed for those who are confident in using the data from GL Education’s assessments, will support delegates in triangulating data from a range of sources to uncover meaningful insights and evaluate and evidence success.

The session will support delegates to create and test hypotheses with their own school data as well as explore ways to combine data to obtain actionable insights. Delegates should come along with their own school data for this session.

The workshop will discuss the use of CAT4, PT Series, NGRT and PASS for strategic decision making, but is suitable for schools of all curriculum types including those who use only one or two of the GL Education assessments.

 Delegates will leave the session with a clearer view of how they can utilise data to inform school improvement plans and prepare for inspections and accreditations.

What will you take away?

  • Strategic use of data – Reflect and review how you currently evaluate and evidence success in your school alongside what the data is telling you
  • Derive hypotheses – Create and test suitable hypotheses to uncover previously hidden insights in your data
  • Data triangulation – Explore new models for triangulating your data, which will support evidence-based decision making and school. improvement planning.

This workshop is perfect for those who are already familiar with the GL Education assessments and comfortable in understanding the key terminology within the assessment reports.
