Teacher Development – Practice Activities Select three of the following nine activities to submit to your leadership mentor. Choose an activity based on your areas of interest and the results of the diagnostic review undertaken at the start of the course.
Implementation Activity 1: Reliable data In the practice scenario from Make the right choices on what to implement in the Implementation selfstudy pack, Jaz explained how the data he examined demonstrated children with SEND were not making the expected progress. Read the EEF guidance on Gathering and interpreting data, paying attention to the section on recognising weaknesses in data.
What can you learn from the case study and EEF guidance about collecting relevant, reliable data? What action can you take to ensure your own data is relevant and reliable?
