UAE Assessment Data Series, May 2026

Join Renaissance Education Advisors Emmeline Curtis and Emily Efstathiou for a practical three-part webinar series designed for UAE schools already using PASS, CAT4, and NGRT.  

Each session will focus on helping educators move beyond reports and scores to make assessment data more meaningful in everyday school practice. 

Across the series, we will explore how to interpret key insights, connect findings to teaching and support strategies, and use data more confidently to understand learners, remove barriers, and guide next steps.  

Each webinar also features a guest speaker from a UAE school sharing how they are using these tools in real school contexts to support better decisions and better outcomes for students.

The webinar will be presented by our Education Advisors, and will feature a guest contribution from Vanessa Moise, Assistant Principal at GEMS National School Al Barsha, who will share how PASS is being used in a UAE school to support students and guide meaningful action.
