What is this course about?
This course helps you to use the data you collect to know your students better. Understanding data allows teachers to make informed decisions and tailor instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of students.
Data literacy also enables teachers to collaborate effectively with colleagues and engage in professional learning communities. When teachers understand data analysis techniques, they can contribute meaningfully to discussions about student performance, share best practices, and learn from their peers. This collaborative approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement within your school.
This course is presented by Dr Selena Fisk, teacher, and data storyteller. Learn how to use the data you collect to have highly informed conversations to support evidence-based decisions.
