Data Analysis Headline Template and Data-Inputting Time-Saving Tool!

Data Analysis Headline Template and Data-Inputting Time-Saving Tool!

(0)
The data analysis headline template is a neat, compact, and visually-engaging tool for school leaders, teaching and learning leaders, curriculum leaders, or any other school-based staff responsible for the inputting and analysis of pupil progress data. All that the resource requires is for users to input raw pupil progress data, and it will automatically calculate percentages, and create colourful pie-charts to provide detailed yet easily-readable headline figures. Each excel sheet has been designed to fit onto one A4 page, for easy reading, and this includes space for users to input analysis of the data and plot interventions. 5 sheets have been pre-populated with example data, but the user can create as many extra sheets as they want by simply right-clicking the tabs, selecting 'move or copy', and then ticking the 'create copy' box. The sheets that are created will contain all of the same formulas and pie-charts, to enable you to create page after page of detailed progress analysis! All of the columns and row names in the tables can be edited to suit the language used by your school, but please avoid altering the percentages rows, as you may lose the formulas. The data inputting resource provides all of those responsible for data tracking and monitoring with a valuable time-saving tool to ensure that data can be well-presented, and trends can be easily identified. Fourteen separate sheets have been provided (one for each subject) and four tables are formulated to allow you to break down pupil progress data by any category that you require. Simply input the total number of students taking the subject for each category, and the number making progress by each measure, and the template will automatically provide you with the percentages, and also create pie charts to show headline data visually. A space is also provided for teachers to analyse key trends, and plot interventions. If you have any questions after purchasing this, please do not hesitate to contact me at TandLGuru@yahoo.co.uk

Some of the specific tasks involved include: working out the goals to games ratio of some of the best strikers, finding out which teams have the best goal difference, creating data to present performance, and comparing player statistics over different tournaments. There are 30 tasks in total, in which each the major World Cup nations are focused upon in at least one activity each. The tasks are also separated by difficulty into ‘Beginner’,‘Intermediate’, and ‘Difficult’ tasks (refer to the B, I, or D symbols in the top left of each activity).
