THE POWER OF DATA TO TAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

Description

"With the growing emphasis on sustainable and effective adaptation of the digital education and training systems, e.g., Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), the DATADRIVE project explores innovative methods for empowering teachers and school leaders, by giving them modern tools, and necessary training to develop their skills and competencies to read, interpret and use different types of data to facilitate evidence-driven school improvement. These skills aim to help school leaders and teachers to take action based on evidence. When these stakeholders can gather and use reliable data to evaluate their schools, they can better detect and address arising problems, support their students and their families, and engage all parties to increase their performances. To support the teachers and school leaders in acquiring these skills;- The DATADRIVE project systematically reviews the materials on existing practices, frameworks, and instruments related to school quality as well as data use on school improvement; - The DATADRIVE analysis new evidence from practitioners to build a new ""school quality framework"" and new ""survey instruments"" to identify the underlying school quality dimensions as well as a data-driven school improvement framework. - To implement these new tools effectively in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)/Web-based environment, training materials, and instructional videos are created according to the identified needs of the school leaders and teachers team from selected schools. - The team of the school leaders and teachers are coached to collaborate as professional learning communities to use these frameworks and instruments to create a participatory governance structure. The DATADRIVE project is realized by 6 partners under the coordination of SCRIPT in the Ministry of Education of Luxembourg: the Ministry of Education of Croatia, the Autonomous Highschool of the German-speaking Community in Belgium, the University of Twente in the Netherlands, the SPOLECZNA AKADEMIA NAUK University in Poland, and Edurio Ltd. UK, an enterprise that helps school network leaders both in public and private sectors establish an evidence-based approach to school improvement in their organizations.The DATADRIVE first surveys school quality parameters from participating countries and data use practices in decision-making mechanisms, then uses the survey to create a school quality framework. This new framework comprises a data-driven school improvement framework, survey materials, and corresponding teaching material and videos, and a handbook on data-driven school improvement for professional learning communities. The workshops realized within this project intend to familiarize all stakeholders with methods of collecting and analyzing data and how to use project outputs in school improvements. The main objective of the DATADRIVE is to maximize the impact of the data-driven decision process in school improvements by developing content (frameworks, surveys, training materials, etc) not only that can be easily adaptable to specific school needs but also can be scalable according to the needs of larger education institutions and networks. With such a broad spectrum of applications, the impact of data-driven decisions can become observable at multiple levels. In addition to workshops, in order to facilitate the rapid dissemination of DATADRIVE outcomes among school leaders and teachers, teacher-training institutions, national departments working with schools on quality improvement, as well as national and international level education policy-makers, all project outputs are stored on the DATADRIVE's open-access website, and partners' websites. The training videos are kept publicly available on other platforms, such as YouTube, in addition to the DATADRIVE website."
