Lies, Damn Lies and Data - Measuring Our Progress

Does your school collect lots of data on students?  Does your school have processes for analysing this data? Does your school use its data to guide directions in supporting wellbeing?  How do you know whether what you’ve been doing is working or whether you’ve just been very busy?? 

School data can be used effectively to plan and implement mental health and wellbeing promotion and early intervention strategies. The importance, role and use of data are examined in this focus module. Targeted data collection; communicating and sharing its use; and the analysis and reporting of results for school improvement are addressed in this Focus Module.

If your school is interested in being recognised as a MindMatters school then the data you present is key to this process.

Date and Time:   25 June 2013 / 8.45am to 3.30pm

Location:  Meerilinga, 15 Cambridge Street, West Leederville WA 6007
