The things teachers need to understand to make sense of RAISEonline

1. APS, VA, CVA

2. Statistical significance

3. Confidence intervals

4. Prior attainment measures

5. Relative performance indicators

6. Targets, estimates and predictions

7. Snake graphs and quadrant graphs


Objectives

To explore how RAISEonline supports effective target-setting

To make links between target-setting and for learning and teaching

To consider local implications for advice and support


Target-setting process

Attainment targets – bottom up. Schools set targets first, LA targets afterwards.

Attendance targets – schools and LA set targets in line with ranges from DfES

Minority ethnic groups – built up from pupil targets

Looked after children – based on pupil targets

LA targets are subject to challenge by the Secretary of State, where they do not meet criteria based on achieving reasonable levels of progression and ambition


How should schools be supported to set challenging targets?

Recognise that predictions of results and targets are not the same thing

Understand how ambitious targets fit into the school’s improvement plan and support teaching and learning in the classroom

Move away from looking at historical patterns of achievement which might conceal underperformance

Use target-setting tools such as RAISEonline to benchmark performance against the most successful schools
