nEducators are expected to use data to inform their work; however, a key piece that is often missing from the data conversation is the way we involve students in the process. nWhen students become data-informed learners, they have a better understanding of their ability as a learner, are more readily able to identify opportunities for growth, and are able to have more specific and targeted conversations about what they need to do to improve. n nThere are three main purposes for using data with students: goal setting, learning dispositions or behaviour, and the quality of student learning or understanding. There are five main modes by which we would do this: data walls, success criteria, student-generated assessment, conversations, and data on walls in classrooms. n nThis book unpacks these reasons and modes, and provides examples of the 15 intersections of purpose and mode to provide practical ideas for implementation in schools and classrooms.n
