This workshop, facilitated by Jenna Crowley and Louise Miller from Cognition Education, is focused on systems that support reliable and accurate data collection, collation, and reporting. The session presents a case study from an area school to demonstrate the importance of establishing school-wide systems and expectations around data recording. The case study has been co-constructed with the school, including their perspective on the process of improving their data systems, and the resulting outcomes. The workshop is designed to guide other schools through a data systems self-review process, identifying any areas for improvement by applying assessment principles, such as reliability and accuracy.
