Peer support for Data Managers

[psydii]

Hi All,

 

Where do Data Managers go for peer support? I know we have a Data Managers group, but that is very quiet. I seem to recall their may have been a forum over on the TES Communities site before they got deleted, and their might be something over on Facebook....

 

Where should I point our new team, advice gratefully received!

The DM's equivalent to ANME - https://adme.me.uk/

 

I'm sure there is also a professional qualification or professional body for school DM's. I know a DM that certificated to try to support a pay rise a few years ago. I'll dig around and post if I can find the details.

https://webcontent.ssatuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/SSAT-NDMA-2015.pdf - (this is/was the certification). Not sure it's still around, but might be of interest. A search of "NDMA" on edugeek shows a few hits, but all quite a a way in the past.

NDMA is still a thing - but it's very quiet

 

I use a few Facebook groups - School Data Management & Sixth Form Data and Funding being the main ones.

 

There are some support forums for specific tools / software - SISRA are behind some of the Facebook stuff for instance; dare I say it, the ESS / SIMS support network is still pretty good.

Facebook unfortunately. It’s the main reason I’m on there.
