This workshop explores how schools can effectively use a Learning Management System (LMS) to capture, manage, and leverage meaningful student data to inform decision-making and improve outcomes across the school community. The session will focus on identifying the types of data that matter most to schools, including academic performance, pastoral wellbeing, and student and family information, and how these data sets can work together to provide a more holistic view of each learner.
Using Schoolbox as a practical example, we will demonstrate how an LMS can support schools through:
- Academic data collection and analysis using assessment structures and markbook functionality.
- Capturing and managing wellbeing and behavioural information through pastoral care records and data sets.
- Customising workflows and data points to align with each school’s unique requirements and priorities.
- The importance of consistency in data collection to support informed decisions.
The workshop will also highlight the importance of flexibility and choice within an LMS, enabling schools to design data collection processes that are both purposeful and sustainable, ensuring the information is collected can truly be acted upon.
