Data Analysis to empower your teaching

Actually, use the data and feedback strategies to build effective change within the classroom.

Learn how data can empower the teaching and learning in your class. This workshop explores how to use various data analysis techniques as a tool for driving change and success in the classroom. From this workshop participants will walk away with:

  • A range of resources to assess for student’s skills and prior knowledge
  • Uncover the impact of identifying areas of concern
  • Trial and explore the STAR data analysis tool
  • Learn techniques on how to analyse data and use this to differentiate your classroom
  • Discover the power of predictive data to empower your teaching

We will also explore one of the most powerful strategies a teacher has in their toolbox, providing regular, formative feedback to students. Not only will we demonstrate our experiences and strategies we use but how these have affected our teaching and made the biggest impact on student learning growth.

Adam Kruger

Adam Kruger – Assistant Principal at Lyndhurst Secondary College (Previously Head of Mathematics Faculty, Wesley College, Glen Waverley) and Scott Rumble – Assistant Principal at Clyde Secondary College have been involved in mathematical professional development for a number of years. Both working in a number of roles from Mathematics Learning Area leaders, Numeracy Leaders, Curriculum Development, Year Level Coordinator, Senior School Leader, to Acting Assistant Principal (Senior School/Curriculum). They have also been Directors of the Casey and Cardinia Mathematics Network.

Both believe that teaching and leading with warmth and enthusiasm, looking at the personal interests and strengths of their students is a key to achieving great success. Their interest, experience, and expertise in educating students at all levels is reflected in their broad teaching and leadership career. Both are celebrated presenters who work extensively with students, teachers and organisations in areas of leadership, data analysis, numeracy and literacy development, effective feedback strategies, restorative justice practices, accelerated learning, building connections outside the classroom, creative and critical thinking, learning styles, multiple intelligences and cooperative learning.

Adam and Scott have presented on numerous occasions for a range of organisations and school associations with the main focus of developing change in the classroom. Their passion for teaching has been the main driver for developing a range of programs at their college. The student growth that is achieved not only within these programs but in their classrooms is undeniable proof that their hard work and a love of this profession are the building blocks of great success. Adam and Scott have recently began developing a book Teach like a STAR which will be the driving force behind using their popular STAR methodology and approach towards building positive change in the classroom.
