Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Tait is an operations and education specialist with over two decades of classroom teaching experience and nine years in roles blending pedagogy, data-driven product development, and organisational leadership. As developer of the ORBIT Monitoring Student Progress System and former UI developer at adaptED, he bridges educational theory with practical analytics, working closely with statisticians, programmers and schools to turn disparate assessment data into actionable insights. Currently Operations Manager at The Opportunities Party and a practising teacher, he combines policy-facing operations work with hands-on classroom practice and relief teaching across the region. Skilled in stakeholder engagement, training and resource design, he has a track record of translating complex analysis into clear reports and professional development for educators.
