Free Qualification and Curriculum Events – Spring 2012

Bringing your exam data to life

Half-day sessions held across the country to share best practice techniques. We show you how to interpret your exam results data to monitor performance and plan improvement. These sessions will benefit a wide range of staff including teachers, Heads of Department, the Senior Leadership team and Exams Officers.

Session 1 – An overview of ResultsPlus

In this session guided activities are used to familiarise staff with features of the ResultsPlus. We focus on:

analysing grades, question papers and skill areas to uncover areas of strengths and weaknesses
analysis of exam performance and trends by student, group or cohort to identify opportunities for improvement

Session 2 – An overview of Mock Analysis

This session is a workshop and discussion on the features of the Mock Analysis service:

guided support to analyse mock exam papers and evaluate progress
how Mock Analysis can give you detailed performance information BEFORE students take their exams
using the Mock Analysis service to support the shift from modular to linear assessment

Session 3 – From analysis to action

We finish the session by giving you guided support to analyse and evaluate you own school’s data. This allows you to identify issues and take appropriate action to support improvement.
