Analytics

In order to identify the schools, subjects or grades that need support, it is essential that analysis gets done.

  • Curriculum Management view Subject and Grade Profile
  • Learner profiling to identify which learners need support

Problem Solving

Root Cause Analysis

It is worthwhile to stop, reflect and scratch below the surface when conducting analysis before jumping to the solution generating process. By conducting a root cause analysis, one can determine the true, underlying issues that result in the presenting problem.

Toolkit

Overaged Learners

To have a clear breakdown of learners who are overage in the district. Data on overaged learners is used for identifying the budget constraints for a school in terms of providing resources.

Progressed Learners

To have a clear understanding of the learners who were progressed. Progressed learners impact the promotion rate of a grade and this could be mitigated by giving them the right support.

Learner Attendance

To understand the importance of learner attendance submissions as it helps to improve the accuracy of the attendance data, and actively manage learner attendance so as to intervene timeously in order to raise learner performance and identify drop out risks.

NSC Subject Diagnostic Reports

The NSC Subject Diagnostic Reports should be used by educators, HODs and subject advisors to inform subject interventions in Grade 12 and the FET phase in general. Used alongside NSC past papers, these reports allow for areas of content where learners typically struggle to be identified, remedial action to be put in place and learner results to be improved.

Educator Attendance

To identify the reasons for educator’s absenteeism and to show the impact of educator’s attendance/absenteeism.

Subjects at Risk

To determine which subjects need immediate support, providing vital information for subject advisors and circuit managers to determine which subjects need support.

Learners at Risk

To determine which learners need immediate support, providing vital information for subject advisors and circuit managers to determine which learners need support.

Grade 3, 6 & 9 Math and Home Languages

To have a clear understanding of the performance of Mathematics and all Home Languages in Grades 3, 6 and 9. This analysis is done to measure the content knowledge of learners in exit grades.”

Planning

Once the analysis and problem solving has been completed, you have sufficient data to begin planning interventions.

Download the planning tools that will guide you through a thought process that will result in goal orientated, outcomes based plans that will achieve the desired outcomes.

Download

Remember to share these plans with your key stakeholders (circuit manager, principal, SMT, SGB)

Refer back to this plan on a regular basis to track that you are implementing all aspects of the plan.

Tracking Interventions

Tracking Interventions

As districts and schools become more and more data driven, measurement of successful implementation of interventions becomes an important element in school management. Never before has it been so easy to track progress using the DBE Dashboard.
