Consider the evidence
This is a resource designed to assist schools to make best use of evidence in making decisions aimed at improving student achievement.
The aim is to engage leaders and teachers in thinking through some ideas, principles and processes that will enhance the school’s approach to collecting and using data and other evidence.
The focus of the resource is secondary education from years 7–13, but the approach can be adapted for other school environments.
The resource consists of web pages and a number of PowerPoint presentation formats (see 12. Resources).
