DISCO South

In 2015, the Commission for Assessment Without Levels published its final report providing schools with clarification for the reasons for removing levels and recommendations for next steps. What have we learned in the past 10 years? What mistakes have been made? How has data collection and tracking affected workload? When it comes to data in schools, what works and what doesn’t?

Even today, many school data systems are accountability-focussed, built from the top down, rather than designed from the classroom upwards to help teachers support pupils’ learning. This conference aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to transform the data culture in your school; to make it learning-centred and workload-light.

Join James Pembroke (Insight, Sig+, @jpembroke), Richard Selfridge (primary teacher, consultant, @databusting), and Josh Perry (SmartGrade, Carousel, @bringmoredata) for a step-by-step guide to rationalising your data life.
