Martin Kaliszewski and Astrid Fieldsend of the Education Development Trust are using their combined educational experience to write a thinkpiece on England’s use of data and the lessons that can be learned, and invite you to contribute and shape this work.
This interactive workshop would appeal to educationalists who have an interest in or experience of student outcomes data and who would be willing to draw on those experiences, sharing their thoughts on interesting practice and pitfalls.
Martin and Astrid will share some of their findings and welcome thoughts on areas such as:
1. How governments and ministers use performance indicators to drive behaviour change and school improvement;
2. How schools can use platforms such as RAISEonline (the national educational data management system for schools in England) for practical use and improvement;
3. How perverse incentives and gaming may arise from such a data-rich, high-stakes environment.
Convenors: Martin has spent the best part of the last decade contracted from Education Development Trust to the Department for Education to work on the design and development of RAISEonline as well as having taught for over twenty years in a variety of schools. Astrid is an experienced former teacher and senior leader, working in challenging schools in inner-city London.
