MIS

What is MIS?

A Managment Information System (MIS) is a core tool for School Leaders.

An MIS focuses on the management of information across the school including attendance, behaviour, assessment, teacher attendance/absences, pupil data, teacher data, SEN information. Modern MIS solutions have become more integrated with timetabling to provide greater efficiency in information collection, analysis and statistics.

An MIS, used effectively, helps schools to maximize school leaders' knowledge of the pupils and staff of their schools. Effective use of the MIS requires whole-school engagement to ensure that data is collected.

NAPD ICT & MIS Providers Forum

NAPD ICT meet with some of the MIS providers (those who have agreed to work with NAPD ICT) on a regular basis to discuss suggestions from School Leaders and to report any errors or bugs.

Powerpoint Presentation


Also on the Day Alan presented this (Click Link OneNote ) that he CBC developed for Wellbeing which includes a Curriculum Wellbeing Log (Curriculum Map) it is a resource for wellbeing that they are developing in, it is a 1^st draft and a work in progress so please take it as such,

It is far from complete and some areas have more detail than others, it was put together over a few days with a view to developing it over the next two years.

It may be of some help, in particular the section around curriculum. It should just extract when downloaded and you will need OneNote which will be on most Windows PCs.

It is also here as a (Click Link  PDF ) but you will not be able to open the embedded Word documents which will be useful.
