Evaluation of the Intervention

Have you used quantitative data?

1. Reporting on Student Progress

Importance of comparisons

Just saying they have made progress because they have a higher test score or jumped xxx
levels is not enough.

Need to compare to something more than just pre and post test data.

Are the learners in your target group making progress in comparison to... Norm, Data from last year,
other comparative learners in school/cluster?

This is not an easy thing to report on. The actual results at the end of the project etc are not that
great.
This is the analysis of the internals
This is the analysis of the externals

When comparing what the students in my group did over their other subjects, the externals was a
sticking point for all but one of them,
About half of them achieved most of their internal standards.

A numerical way of presenting data (If you have used quantitative data)  plus
a writing frame to record on your blog

2. Evaluating shifts in teaching

If you did something different, we can learn just as much from inquiries that don’t work.

Have you used Qualitative Data?

Instead of numbers, as above, use rich descriptions, quotes and examples 

Examples from Hana that will be helpful - read the speaker notes on each slide

Don’t forget to ask your learners what made the difference.

I gave the students a Growth mindset questionnaire at the start of the year and again at the end.
Unfortunately, as the end of the year is a bit of a mad rush to get work completed and sent away
for marking, I did not give them the second one till after they had left. I have a response from one
student.

End of year response

Things to do better next time is to make sure I give these kind of activities to them in a timely manner and give them class time to complete them. Expecting students to log on to their emails after they have left school and respond to them was not acceptable.

I also gave my students a feedback form at the end of the course. Again, I gave it too late and I only received one reply.

Year 13 Feedback

What I learn here is that I need to make it much more explicit as to why we are doing what we are doing and what my inquiry is about.
