Analysing data from your evaluative ratings
Using the Trust Feedback Overview dashboard, trust leaders can immediately answer questions like:
- What is the overall quality of teaching in my trust?
- Has teaching improved?
- What is the quality of teaching in a year group or subject?
- In which Habits are we stronger and weaker?
- Which teachers need support?
- Which teachers can be my champions?
This dashboard refers to teachers 'At Standard'. A teacher is 'At Standard' if the average feedback ratings they received over the period are within 10% of, or above, the standard threshold.
We make this calculation using our weighted average methodology, which takes account of all feedback in the period but places a higher emphasis on more recent records. This promotes continuous development and allows you to quickly identify any downward trends before they become an issue.

Top tips 💡
Questions to use when analysing quality of teaching data on ProgressTeaching with school or trust leaders:
Have all teachers / year groups been seen? Are all leaders dropping into areas with the same regularity? Is there an even spread of drop-ins?
Are all habits being evaluated regularly?
Are leaders achieving a balance between monitoring and evaluation and coaching?
Are leaders’ judgements and evaluations accurate? Do they triangulate with outcomes and behaviour data and feedback from Regional Directors? If not, what needs to happen?
Are comments on habits and action steps high leverage and genuinely developmental? Do they utilise the teaching prompts and avoid poor proxies for learning? Do leaders make time to ensure that feedback moves staff forwards using deliberate practice?
Where are the strengths in terms of provision? Subject areas? Year groups? Habits? How are we cascading and celebrating best practice?
Where are the areas for development in terms of provision? Subject areas? Year groups? Habits? How are leaders using this to inform CPD and coaching? How will we know any follow-up will have impact? What’s the timeframe?
How are we utilising the expertise of teachers averaging as ‘Expert’ overall and in individual Habits?
How are we supporting teachers where the majority of Habits are averaging as ‘Developing’?
How are Heads getting the culture right around drop-ins and evaluation of Habits?
o Where is the celebration? Are ‘shout outs’ taking place?
o Are leaders being coached themselves and are they open and transparent about their own areas for development?
