Meaningful Data
Evidence that informs decisions and review.
Schools identify which evidence will help answer their questions and how to interpret it in their own context. They consider current learning alongside progress over time.
Teams establish what they will look for after a response, and use the findings to judge what to continue, strengthen, or change.
What Meaningful Data involves
Questions first
Educators decide what they need to understand about a student or group before choosing which evidence to examine.
Learning and progress together
Current results and change over time are considered side by side, from each student's own starting point.
Reviewing the response
Teams agree in advance what would indicate that a change is helping, then return to the evidence to see what happened.
How Meaningful Data connects to the other drivers
Assessment contributes evidence to Visibility; Meaningful Data governs how that evidence, alongside classroom work, is interpreted and used.
The findings inform curriculum priorities and instructional choices, and Workflows carry the resulting decisions forward.

Make your evidence more useful
We can discuss the questions your school is working to answer and the evidence already available to your teams.
Together, we can consider how a clearer approach to data could support the decisions your educators make for students.
