The Effective Use of Student Data Protocols PURPOSE: * To improve learning outcomes for all students, this includes children below, and those children operating above the expected level or benchmark. * Data will be distributed for the purpose of student learning improvement and teacher capacity building. * The data sets will be distributed to all teachers + The data sets will be used by the Principal and teachers within the school and not distributed any further than the school context. * Data will be approached in a de personalised, non-judgemental manner to avoid labelling or drawing conclusions. * Data sets must be relevant and ‘fit for purpose’. * There will be triangulation of the data sets IMPLEMENTATIO Data will be used to assist teams to: ‘+ Compare students against students over time. ‘+ Compare their results to an external relative or absolute standard (e.g. similar or like schools). Used at network, school and classroom level to improve teaching and learning practices. Set ‘aspirational targets’ for students based on current trends and evidence. Build a collegiate approach to data sharing and school improvement. Provide targeted assistance for students through the allocation of resources to improve performance, where students are at risk of underperforming (or are underperforming) against the expectations. Data will also be used during performance reviews to analyse student data at the mid and end of cycle meetings. INTERPRETATION: Data interpretation will focus on: Supporting teachers and teams to build capacity and implement effective instructional practices. Building a collaborative approach to reflection and sharing of regular and relevant class, cohort and whole school data. ‘* Skilling teachers to use their own data effectively and regularly to improve practice. * Identifying and analysing trends over time to determine the progress of cohorts of students and the school, particularly in relation to ‘intake adjusted’, ‘relative growth’ or ‘value adding’ i nt nm ttn naan nonin one nen Mutual Respect - Appreciation - Attentive Listening - Participation Safety - Aim High Page 2
