Comprehensive members joined a discussion and Q&A session in March with authors Lyn Sharratt and Michael Fullan on their book, Putting Faces on the Data. Sharratt and Fullan shared their 14 parameters of system and school improvement, which were initially identified as key drivers for literacy and numeracy advancement.

In the 10th anniversary edition of their book, the authors expanded the 14 parameters to encompass all subject areas. In the book, the authors note that increased specificity in teaching, or knowing each and every student, allows educators to tailor student learning and define precise and intensive supports for instructional improvement. In the same way, school leaders can use student achievement data to differentiate support for teachers with targeted professional learning.
