| description | In today’s education, the demand for personalised, data-driven curricula has grown as educators strive to meet diverse student needs and promote cognitive development. This study investigates how MAP Growth assessment data are utilised by teachers and school leaders to design a personalised, data-driven curriculum in an American primary school in Fujairah, UAE. Using an embedded case study approach with a mixed-methods design, the research combines perspectives from school-based educators and leaders with insights from a nationwide sample of teachers and leaders across the UAE. The data were collected from questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings emphasise MAP data’s value for differentiating instruction but show that its application in curriculum planning is unofficially implemented and not systematically documented. School leaders and teachers encounter multiple challenges, which include insufficient data literacy skills, time limitations, curriculum misalignment, and doubts about MAP Growth assessment data validity, particularly for English as an Additional Language students. Despite these obstacles, several strategies emerged, including professional development, digital tools, collaborative planning, and instructional leadership that support a culture of data use. The research adds value to leadership and curriculum policy discussions through its demonstration of how reflective practices combined with systemic support structures improve MAP assessment data analysis utilisation in creating a data-driven personalised curriculum. The research delivers practical recommendations to enhance the connection between assessment findings and instructional planning in multilingual primary education settings. |
