In Greek mythology, Cassandra (Greek: Κασσάνδρα "she who entangles men") was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy whose beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.
Our latest multi-award winning school improvement technologies are named after a woman who was blessed with amazing powers of prophetic interpretation and personal integrity in equal measure. We hope when you see what "Cassie" can do, no persuasion will be necessary. Your data will simply speak for itself!
Four years in development and exclusive to W3 Insights, we genuinely feel these methodologies raise the "standards" bar significantly and, for the first time, truly allow data-rich schools to take a lead on their own evidence-based practice.
DCSF, in their recommendations, encouraging schools to integrate and innovate using data, recognise evidence-based practice as a priority.
The problem, of course, is that most schools are awash with data. Where do you start and how do you technically make best use of all the information?
Fortunately, many other types of organisation have faced and dealt with this problem already. The technology they turn to resides within a highly specialised field utilising highly advanced computer programs ("algorithms") which "learn" to reliably analyse and extract knowledge from data!
Cassandra is the first such algorithm conceived and designed specifically for education and realises the evidence-based opportunities for schools of true, statistically-driven data integration.
Cassandra offers a cost-effective way by which schools can develop their own context-specific solutions, incorporating even "softer" (attitudinal) perspectives, to the perennial issues embedded within the aims of "raising standards". Unique to this methodology, all forms of data can be analysed together without any prior hypotheses. The more data schools have, the richer and more effective, the derived solutions!
Rich, detailed data integration for context-specific local analysis and strategic planning. And that's only the beginning!
