Teaching & Learning Quality
What was planned, what was taught, and what students understood
When a class does badly on fractions, see in one place whether fractions was taught, which questions tested it, and which students need it explained again. The scheme of work, the lessons, the tests and the results, joined topic by topic.
Included on the Growth plan and above. In Admin Desktop and the Staff Mobile app, for the admin, the academic staff you choose, and every teacher for their own classes.
What's included
- Curriculum coverage for every class and subject: the weeks the scheme of work plans, and how many of the weeks due so far have been taught
- Teachers mark each week Taught, Partly taught or Not taught, with the date and a note, from their computer or phone
- Each arm of a class is marked on its own, so JSS 1 A and JSS 1 B never hide each other
- Results by topic: the week it was planned for, whether it was taught, the questions that tested it and what the class scored
- Topics that need a look are listed first: taught and tested but scored low, tested before it was taught, or due and not yet marked
- Open a topic to see every question with how the class did on it, and every student's marks, lowest first
- Questions are matched to topics by name, by the week of their assignment, or with one click
- Lesson observations against your own rubric, written on a phone in the classroom
- Follow-up actions with an owner and a review date, listed in the Control Room until they are done
- Every screen says what the records cannot show, so nobody reads more into a number than is there
Built to support teachers
About lessons and topics, not league tables
- No teacher gets a score or a rank. Every list is by class, subject and topic
- Observation levels are words beside what was seen. They are never added up or averaged
- A teacher sees everything written about their lesson once it is shared, and can reply
- A shared observation can't be quietly changed afterwards
- A low score always points at how the questions were worded as well as how the topic was taught
- Teachers see their own classes and can add follow-ups for themselves
From a result to a next step
A class did badly on fractions. Now what?
- 1. Open Results by topic for the class and subject. Fractions is at the top, marked as worth another explanation
- 2. The scheme of work planned it for week 2, and the teacher marked it taught
- 3. Five questions tested it, and the class scored 40% of the marks. Each question shows how the class did on it
- 4. Eleven students scored under half, listed by name
- 5. Add a follow-up: re-teach adding fractions with unlike denominators, and look again next Friday
