Use of Data in the school

•‘Learning’ 

PEDAGOGY Create a learning environment in which there is an expectation that all students will experience success in learning.	Promote, participate in, and support ongoing professional learning linked to student progress. Demonstrate leadership through engaging with staff and sharing knowledge about effective teaching and learning in the context of the New Zealand Curriculum documents. Ensure staff members engage in professional learning to establish and sustain effective teacher/learner relationships with all students, with a particular focus on Māori students. Ensure that the review and design of school programmes is informed by school-based and other evidence. Maintain a professional learning community within which staff members are provided with feedback and support on their professional practice. Analyse and act upon school-wide evidence on student learning to maximise learning for all students, with a particular focus on Māori and Pasifika students.

This year was a change in regards how we use and assess the students. I wanted a collective approach and wanted staff to really deeply think about when and why they assess the children.
My thinking was
rather than the data and assessment tool ruling us lets use the assessment tool when needed. For years we have had an Assessment timetable that has governed the school. Teacher have complained about TOO MUCH ASSESSMENT and not enough teaching time. Term 2 and 4 become pressure terms.

We started to use Excel to be better at manipulation and for staff to have the skills to do this. This has worked well.
