Title:

Using Data to Inform Explicit Teaching and Leading

Nugget of Learning: A school from our network shares a key insight into a collaborative leadership practice they find impactful.

In this practical session we experience how to use the case-management meeting approach to ensure that teaching practices are based on teachers’ evidence based student learning data. The session hones on what leading actions are required to set the conditions for professional conversations that result in clearly defined next steps to meet students’ learning needs.

Participants are asked to bring data to share in school groups’ Case Management Meetings relating to one student that is not progressing in their learning to hear suggestions from colleagues as to how to solve this ‘puzzle of practice’.

Listening Deck: At the end of each session this term you pair with someone from another school to share impactful practices and to develop closer across school connections.

Facilitator for this session: Maggie Ogram

Let’s reflect – What is your data telling you?

Reviewing the impact of your school’s inquiry using a range of data sources.

  • How do you know your inquiry has had the intended impact?
  • What has surfaced within the data that leads to further inquiry and needing development or action?
  • Though the eyes of ākonga, what are they saying about the progress they have made and/or how they’ve contributed to the intended changes?

Please bring:

  • The second round of data (quantitative and qualitative) to support your team’s reflection discussion
  • Documentation of reflection and review of the inquiry
