Measurement, Analysis and Reporting

 

VCE and NAPLAN Data Services

The analysis of NAPLAN and VCE results can be a daunting process, particularly when principals and teachers are pushed for time, and faced with the day-to-day demands school life. However, analysing and using assessment data from previous years to understand past performance and to plan for the future is a key characteristic of effective schools.

 

Using the VCE Data Service and the NAPLAN Data Service, Kmetrics offers schools the opportunity to engage with and explore their data with an independent third person who is experienced in delivering:

 

· an interpretation of results in plain English

· a presentation that engages staff in the results

· a focus on strengths and weaknesses of students

· the identification of curriculum related gaps in student learning

· assistance in planning for improved student outcomes

NAPLAN Data Service professional development for teachers; Assessment for Better Learning using NAPLAN Data.

 

Kmetrics has run workshops across Victoria and in individual schools on how to use the results from the AIM tests and now the NAPLAN tests to improve student outcomes.

 

The results from these tests have been used to monitor school performance, measure the growth of student achievement or value add, identify strengths and weakness against the curriculum and to diagnose students learning needs.

 

Reports are available that look at whole of school performance and class room level performance.

 

Easy to use diagnostic reports for each teachers class and for the year level cohort are available. These reports contain direct links to the test items and the students error patterns.

Support for schools

Research has repeatedly shown that a key feature of effective schools, and a key characteristic of effective school leadership, is the value that they place on collecting and using data to improve student outcomes.  Data collection and reporting is a key factor in school accountability and improvement processes; however, meaningful interpretation of data requires skill and time that may not be available to schools.

 

Kmetrics provides a range of services to support schools and educational organisations as they engage with the process of collecting and interpreting data, and reporting on student achievement and other school outcomes.

 

Consultations can include one-on-one sessions with principals and/or leading teachers, but can also be extended to include presentations for teacher groups and school councils.
