A Spirit of Enquiry • An Important Theme • A Recurrent Theme • A Timely Theme
A vital theme “Systematic data collation/analysis and USE … can lead to the improvement of education as has no other educational innovation of the last century.” McLean 1995
A challenging theme “By emphasising the sheer quality of information, the technocrats have it exactly wrong: if only we can provide greater access to more and more information for more and more individuals, we have it made. Instead what you get is information glut”. M Fullan
A complex theme Data Information Knowledge Practitioner wisdom grounded on a mix of intuition and empirical evidence.
No limit can be set to the power of a teacher … Yet no career can so nearly approach zero in its effects! • It is good because we’ve been doing it for a long time or is it good because we have tangible evidence that it works. • Demythogising – identify the real problem
“The collective capacity of Principal and teachers to examine student performance data, make critical sense of it in the disaggregate, develop action plans based on the data and to take action which is monitored.” M Fullan
“The technical quality of knowledge and its usability will be superficial unless it is accompanied by social and moral depth.” M Fullan
