FAQs
How does this course assist with inspection readiness?
Inspectors look for a "Data Story." We teach you how to move beyond raw attainment and demonstrate Value-Added progress. We provide templates for leadership dashboards that clearly show inspectors how you are closing the gap for specific cohorts (e.g., Emirati students, Students of Determination).
Does this cover the National Agenda targets (PISA/TIMSS)?
Specifically, yes. We look at the link between internal assessment and external international benchmarks, helping you identify if your current curriculum is rigorous enough to meet the targets set by regional regulators.
Can we use this for staff performance management?
We discuss the ethical and effective way to use data to identify teaching gaps. The goal is to use data to provide targeted CPD for your staff, ensuring that support is given where the data shows a specific departmental need.
Will this help us justify resource allocation or budget?
Yes. By identifying clear trends in student underperformance in specific areas , you will have the evidence-based data needed to justify investments in new technology, staff, or curriculum resources.
