Prove you are effective! The essential guide to the use of data by teachers
Are you a bit baffled by data? Are you simply handed data but do not know how to use it efficiently? Then don't fear you are not alone.
The aims of this course are quite simply to explain what the different data sources are, the pros and cons of each, and to show you how to use this data most effectively. This will allow you to provide effective support for pupils’ learning and still keep your own sanity. We also give you some sample Excel spreadsheets to save you lots of time.
