Matthew Savage
Educational Consultant and Trainer
(Previously Principal at International Community School - Amman)
Matthew loves data, and believes passionately in the need for a paradigm shift towards greater student agency and healthier student wellbeing. And he loves helping schools to join these dots - using student-level data to put #wellbeingfirst. Formerly Principal of an award-winning international school in the Middle East, Matthew is now an internationally renowned educational consultant and trainer, speaker and writer, content creator and coach, architect of #themonalisaeffect®, and host of The Data Conversation podcast. In recent years, he has worked face-to-face or remotely with thousands of educators across hundreds of schools in more than 60 countries, helping them to use a triangle of assessment data to maximise student wellbeing and, as a result, student outcomes. He has collaborated closely with GL Education on training and product development for almost a decade, including his regular, and regularly sold out, online workshops on CAT4, the Progress Tests and PASS Triangulation. Most recently, he was selected by ISC Research to contribute to their pivotal Future of Assessment report and the corresponding webinar panel discussion, was part of an assessment 'double bill' at the Outstanding Schools Europe conference with Professor Dylan William, has written for all three issues of Wellbeing in International Schools Magazine, and will join Diana Osagie, Priya Lakhani and Lord Jim Knight on the main stage at the COBIS Annual Conference. He is an Associate Consultant for LSC Education, in which role he coaches senior leaders in the UK and internationally, and also leads governance training with international school boards. And he is a passionate advocate for and ally of #deij worldwide, and member of ECIS’ #deij team; a member of the Diverse Educators network, and contributor to their new book; and host of the "Jack and Me" podcast.
