Data-informed learners

<p>As educators we all recognise the power of using data to inform our work. A key piece that is often missing is how we engage students in their data story.</p><p><br></p><p>When we use data with students they become data-informed learners. They have a better understanding of their ability as a learner and can articulate their goals and challenges more clearly. We can support our students through targeted conversations working in partnership to help them improve.</p><p><br></p><p>There are three main purposes for using data with students: goal setting learning dispositions or behaviour and the quality of student learning or understanding. There are five main modes by which we do this: data walls success criteria student-generated assessment deliberate conversations and data on walls in classrooms.</p><p><br></p><p>In this book Dr Selena Fisk unpacks these purposes and modes giving practical ideas for implementation in schools and classrooms. She offers guidance in having constructive data-informed conversations with students while building a culture of psychological safety where data use is productive and transformational. </p>
