Learning Management System – Data Analytics

…effective use of data in schools is much more than having data and a few tricks for analysing and communicating it. It is about understanding that, from vision to practice, data needs to be deeply embedded within the processes and practices of a school. Dr Tim O’Leary

The Data Analysis Team met with Jade Cleave from Intellischools this week to delve into our Learning Management System. Jade explored the data analytics component for staff that monitors all measures of data.  A clear focus for all staff is how data will ‘tell a story’, and therefore inform teaching practice.

We will continue to meet over the year to explore the measures of data and how we can transform this into action, and ultimately improved student learning and outcomes.

Below is a ‘Wordle’ created from the discussions in the meeting.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter break and term holidays.

May the spirit and light of this Easter morning bless us all, watch over us and protect us on our journey, open us from the darkness into the light of peace and hope and transfiguration.
John O’Donohue (Irish Poet and philosopher)
