5. Accountability Assessment Data Accountability Dimension 3: Intervention and support programs based on an analysis of learner achievement data Assessment Data • analyse learner achievement data to inform planning and practice • actively involve learners, their families and specialist personnel in the construction of intervention and support strategies • monitor the effectiveness of these strategies and document progress and modifications • identify learning targets associated with intervention and support strategies • reflect critically on their practice based on learner achievement data

6. Accountability Assessment Data Accountability Activity 2 Assessment Data • Reflect critically on your practice based on learner achievement data. Examine one of the examples of when you used learner achievement data to intervene and support a learner in more detail. • In examining this data you may like to consider the following ideas: • Patterns and trends in the data • Has a long term pattern emerged for this learner that is different from other learners? • Was there a similar pattern for other learners in the class? • Was this learner a part of a targeted group? • What other support and intervention strategies have been tried? • Sources of data • Is this one of a range of data sources you are analysing? • Did you consider possible errors in the data? • Did colleagues agree with your analysis? • If there has been little or no progress so far what else can you do?
