Abstract

Understanding student data is an important dimension in teaching practice that is linked to improving learning outcomes in the classroom. Navigating and analysing student data on literacy and numeracy skills is an important tool for all teachers in developing high-quality learning tasks and improvements. Specifically, data analysis and interpretation and the resulting modifications to teaching practice are important requirements of teaching excellence. Immersing and guiding pre-service teachers within school-based data- and evidence-driven teaching practices is a critical step in their development. This chapter considers how school-based data and evidence can inform pre-service teachers' professional knowledge and understanding of student learning. A case study of pre-service teachers' learning about school-based student data is presented within three Australian secondary schools. Implications for future pre-service teacher development in using school-based data are discussed.
