How to Go with the Data Flow

The Flemish Inspectorate of Education and the Standing International Conference of Inspectorates (SICI) was organizing the International Conference and Workshop “How to go with the Data Flow: Connoisseurship of the Inspectors in Antwerp, on the 19th, 20th and 21th November 2014. The innovative Conference programme focused on the on-going professional development of the School Inspector, mainly in the light of qualitative and quantitative data collection, analysis and presentation. How do we ensure that the data we collect are valid, represent a fair and truthful image of processes sustaining a school’s educational quality? We want to build shared knowledge regarding “The Connoisseurship of the Inspector” through a mix of presentations brought by academics, field experts and SICI members, vivid group discussions and international state of the art examples of inspection skills.
