Platforms for Accessing Government School Data such as NAPLAN Results
Dear ACT Education And Training Directorate,
I would like to better understand how government schools in the ACT can access their school's respective NAPLAN results, what specific NAPLAN data is provided to the schools and how the NAPLAN data is displayed.
1. Platforms to Access NAPLAN Data for Government Schools in the ACT:
I would like to know what platform the ACT Education Directorate makes available for their government schools (primary and secondary) to access their NAPLAN data, including any websites, types of personalised documents sent to individual schools, and specific software programs. E.g. In NSW, schools have access to their data on a website called, "NSW Schools Online" and a "Scout Reports" tool which is also used in the ACT. I would specifically like to know the name of the software system used.
2. Specific Data Disclosed:
I would like to know what data fields are disclosed in the reporting of NAPLAN data to individual government schools in the ACT. E.g. Name, School, Participation Code, Proficiency Standard, Scaled Score, Student Date of Birth, School Postcode etc. I would like to know all data fields given to the schools in the ACT.
3. Data Displays:
Finally, I would like to know how the data is displayed when given to the schools. E.g. Is the data in the format of a spreadsheet? A series of tables? Infographics such as pie charts, box and whisker plots, bar graphs etc? All of the above? A combination of the above display methods? I would also like screenshots of these displays on the software system so that I can see what a government staff member in the ACT would have access to (obviously with sensitive and private data blurred and undisclosed)
Thank you very much for taking the time to read through my FOI request and for your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Eric Bessiris
