Until recently, Sharon was Senior Vice Principal at an academy in the North West. She began her teaching career as a languages teacher before joining her school in Manchester as a member of the SLT.
For some time, I had been considering how we could get students to play a more active role in understanding their own data and setting their own targets.
Would it be too much for them and a distraction from their learning? Or could it make them more ambitious to reach challenging targets?
Prior Attainment and Performance data has become vital and with seemingly ever-changing guidelines and retrospective adjustments to performance tables, can cause real headaches for SLTs.
Teachers can feel overwhelmed by data, but using it effectively is a key tool in raising achievement for all involved in education.
