Course Overview

Evidence-based and data-driven teaching practices can help teachers improve students’ learning experience. Also, if teachers want to be more reflective in their teaching practice, they should be aware of the technologies that can help and know how to use them. To that end, Curtin University offers The Analytics for the Classroom Teacher certification course.

The Analytics for the Classroom Teacher programme is an introductory course that talks about learning and teaching analytics, from a classroom teacher’s perspective. You can learn how teachers, policymakers, and curriculum developers collect and analyse classroom data, and how it affects and informs school operations decisions at every level.

The Analytics for the Classroom Teacher certification syllabus emphasises mostly on school teachers, and how they can use data analytics to improve their lesson plans, improve their delivery of those plans, and discover more about their students’ learning experience. You also get an opportunity to join a global community of innovative teachers.
