Using data to improve Learning

Ensuring that students learn

A culture of collaboration Focus on the learning process and outcomes

1. State the problem/issue/curiosity2. Collect the data3. Follow a protocol4. Use a data driven dialogue5. Share a way forward

Student Voiceto improve learning



1. What might be a curiosity related to student learning?

Our two Questions:

1. What helps learning?

2. What hinders learning?

Gatheringevidence using student voice

Phase 1PredictWhat are your preliminary thoughts about the data? I assume…I predict… I expect…

Phase 2Go VisualHow will we present the actual data for engagement? graphs tables narratives video

Phase 3ObserveWhat do you see? just the facts… I observe… I count… Some patterns… A trend…

Phase 4ThinkWhat inferences can you make? It seems… I believe…data suggests… I think…because… I am surprised…

Phase 5WonderWhat questions does the data raise for you? Additional data that may be helpful…

Phase 6Action ForwardWhat are the implications for learning and teaching? A solution may be… What may work is…

Dialogue

PHASE1



2. & 3. How and where will we collect the learning data from students?

• Suspend any preconceptions • Have positive regard for the teachers and

students• Keep a low profile but introduce yourself• Engage with the students• Don’t get involved in the teaching• Record your observations in real time!• Probe for actual evidence

(tell, show and how?)• Thank students at the end
