3. In light of the StEADA meetings this week where the HoLAs have discussed what is happening in each Learning Area, and data has been interrogated and helped set goals, you may be interested in the following provocation that has come out from the MOE.

How data can transform teaching and learning:

In education, data is any information that helps teachers understand student learning, progress, and needs. Data goes beyond just test scores - it includes a wide range of qualitative and quantitative sources that inform teaching and decision making. Behind every piece of data sits a student with unique needs, strengths, and challenges. The real value of engaging with data is not simply assessing performance - it's about using that data to improve our teaching practices, personalise learning experiences, and create better outcomes.

Interrogating data is about using information, including numbers, to understand our students better, respond to their needs, and continuously improve our teaching practices. By making data analysis a core part of our teaching strategies, we don't just improve our teaching - we create classrooms where learning is inclusive, responsive and driven by evidence - where every student has the opportunity to succeed.

"In the best schools, data is not a weapon - it's a flashlight" - Douglas B. Reeves, Accountability for Learning (2004)
