GL Education Masterclass
Digging Deeper with CAT4 Data – A Masterclass with Matthew Savage
This half-day masterclass was led by global CAT4 expert, Matthew Savage (pioneer of #themonalisaeffect). It ran in parallel with the IPSEF Middle East conference. It offered the chance to:
- examine some of the actual CAT4 data from your school
- explore the different flags which can help you dig deeper into the data (e.g. Verbal Deficit, Maths Car etc)
- identify students and groups of students in need of additional interventions and support
- consider strategies which might better ensure the impact of the data on individual students, cohorts and, indeed, the whole school
