Evidence-based practice for schools
What are some of the biggest challenges you face when managing and using data?
![Page 3: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Facing up to where we were…
• We collected data but did nothing with it• We weren’t sure what data was the most important• We weren’t sure how to report data• No one listened anyway• It (not surprisingly) did not lead to changes in behaviour
![Page 4: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Solution: The K-CAR approach to developing a data strategy
• Key QuestionsWhat is it that we really want to know?
• CollectionWhat kind of information do we need?
• AnalysisWhat conclusions can we draw?
• ReportingHow and with whom do we share?

Key question no. 1
How do we know if we are being successful in our mission of inclusion, challenge and success?
Step 1 Key Questions
![Page 6: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
… which quickly led to a whole bunch of other questions:
• How do we gauge the health of the organisation?
• How do we learn from the past?
• How do we make best use of management meetings?
• How do we know if we have met our goals?
• Do we even have goals for all our strategic objectives?• Are they the right goals?

•Determine data that would answer key questions
•Identify which data that you already have or can realistically get
•Prioritize and organize until you have something manageable
Finding simplicity in the complexity
Step 2 Collection

Data So what?
•Are we having better conversations?
•Are we more disciplined?
•Are we agreed on the meaning and significance of this data?
•Has anything changed because of the way we use data?
![Page 12: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Data So what?
• Are we having better conversations? • From ‘things seem slower’ to ‘below target for this month, but still on
track year to date’• Are we more disciplined?
• Board now expects to see data each meeting• Team meetings now focused on actions taken / results / additional actions
required• Are we agreed on the meaning and significance of this data?
• Dashboard provides common vocabulary and ‘one version of the truth’• Has anything changed because of the way we use data?
• Employee behaviour, focus, morale• Becoming part of culture and continuing to gain momentum• Management and decision making processes

Data is not just a product, but also influences process
![Page 14: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ISB operates on 26% turnover each year.The Board of Trustees changes at the same rate.
Our ability to ‘forget’ in times of crisis is perhaps our biggest threat of all.
An example of its use in practice

WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH US?
![Page 16: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH US?1st Oil Crisis
Gulf War
9/112nd Oil Crisis
![Page 17: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH US?
• Despite a trend upwards, enrolment at ISB is ALWAYS cyclical
• Periods of economic downturn have ALWAYS impacted enrolment at ISB
• Typically the negative impact is felt over a 2-3 year period
• The largest cumulative fall in enrolment was 1974-82: 22%
• But remember that at this time the market was very different: >50% US prior to 1984, 24% today
![Page 18: Evidence Based Management And Data Dashboard](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052301/558cc675d8b42a1d7c8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH US?
•A lot of learning from just annual enrolment figures
• In the future, we will will have additional data such as visit/application patterns leading up to and following the current financial crisis
• Moving from ‘guess and react’ to ‘forecast and prepare’

How is data like coffee?

Summary Our Story Knew data was important, but was overwhelmed and not using it effectively
Began conversations to gain an external, independent perspective
Implemented a process to help focus thinking and activities (KCAR)
Launched programme even though data and processes were still imperfect
Beginning to make steady progress along the continuum• Better conversations• More discipline• Real and beneficial change
Understanding that this is a journey. There is no ‘silver bullet’ solution.
