Teacher learning = student learning

Data Day

On Friday 9th March, Northcote High School teachers participated in our annual ‘Data Day’ Professional Learning to investigate where our learners are at and how to assist them in their learning progress.

Teachers used the rich data sets available to them (from Grade 6 testing through to VCE data) to compare with their formative (in class) assessments in order to identify the ‘next steps for learning’ for each student.

Sue Harrap, our new Principal, gave a keynote presentation to staff on Formative Assessment methodologies and teachers then shared best practice experiences. These professional learning activities are an important opportunity for teachers to collaborate and learn with and from each other with the aim of improving outcomes for all students.
