Understanding student data
Selena Fisk
3 Hours
Available all year
Online unmoderated course
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.
