School Improvement Episode 9: Using literacy data to inform strategic planning

My guest today is Cath Apanah, Acting Assistant Principal and Head of senior school at Montrose Bay High in Hobart, Tasmania. She joins me today to discuss how her school has been using data to inform their strategic plan, the process they undertook to improve student writing and how they went about upskilling staff to use data effectively. By using data, the staff t Montrose have not only been able to track student strengths and weaknesses, but it has become a powerful tool for teachers to better understand their impact on student learning.
