Generating Data

So my new school needs data to demonstrate progress for all the individual students. Yes this is the task of all schools but when the cupboard is bare after 6 months, work has to start and start quickly.

So where do you look? Having baseline/benchmark data to demonstrate progress from is crucial.

·         Attendance

·         Time in lessons/time out of lessons

·         Behaviour incidents

·         Reading scores/ages

·         Books Read

·         Homeworks completed (VLE)

·         Spelling

·         Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire

·         Resiliency Scales

·         Boxall profiles

·         Review targets

·         Achievements/Merits/Points/Stars

·         Low stakes test scores

·         End of KS statements

·         KS2 SATS results

·         AQA Unit Awards Achieved

·         Outcomes Wheels

 

There’s a need to focus on academic progress of course, but sometimes the “stickers” can need their self-esteem boosted by highlighting where there has been effective progress, particularly in the soft skills.

This is going to be a huge task to generate the appropriate data for each student, but the staff team are up for it and the ball is rolling.

How do you demonstrate progress? What have I missed?

The clock’s ticking.
