Philip Holmes-Smith can tailor a VCE Data Service professional learning program to assist you in interpreting what the VCE Data Service tells you about your school’s VCE results. In the past Phil has conducted 1˝hr briefings and half-day workshops for:
· school leadership teams including faculty heads,
· all VCE staff within one school,
· principal and staff representatives across a network, and
· principal and staff representatives across a whole Region/Diocese.
Topics include the following options:
· Gaining an overview of your school’s performance – the Combined Studies Report,
· Analysing outright results from single studies,
· Analysing GAT results by study,
· Understanding Adjusted Scores by study – understanding ”value-added“ measures,
· Analysing ”value-adding“ for individual students by study.
As a whole-day workshop, Secondary Schools may also wish to combine this activity with one or more of the P-10 Student Performance Data workshops.
