There are clear arguments that decision making functions require access to data, but the research literature indicates that discussion about points and issues is an important pre-requisite. This paper looks at evidence that highlights discussion as a fundamental need, offers two case study examples of schools integrating discussion that contributes to curriculum decision making with data, reviews a new data management system integrating features supporting discussion, and in conclusion highlights key points for future development. %G English %Z TC 3 %Z WG 3.7 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01468476/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01468476/file/978-3-642-38411-0_2_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01468476 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01468476 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-WG3-7 %~ IFIP-TC3 %~ IFIP-ITEM %~ IFIP-AICT-400
