In this session, we will start by establishing basic knowledge related to data measures, metrics, and standardized assessment. We'll then delve into collaborative interpretation of data, exploring what leaders should be looking for in their data and how this influences pedagogy, with a focus on assessments like CAT4, PASS, and NGRT tailored to an Asia context. We'll address common misconceptions about data usage and discuss ways to understand student need beyond the data. You will have the chance to deep dive into your own GL data and ask questions about next steps. Get ready to explore how to effectively use data in the classroom to drive forward high attainment for all!
Standardised assessments are reliable because they are tests that require all students to answer the same questions in the same conditions, and it’s all scored in the same way.
