Assessment |
|
| The Assessment module delivers detailed information on pupils to assist with
formative and summative assessment tasks. |
| It has the power to create an endless variety of 'pupil profiles' that
reveal current performance, and trends in performance, and which provide a
basis for predicting an individual pupil's future achievements based on
those trends. |
| It can also work as a repository of individually targeted plans for each
pupil that links to the Curriculum Delivery Planning module. |
Features |
|
| |  | Automatically measures student progress against the achievement objectives. |
| |  | Provides both formative and summative information to assist teachers in meeting curriculum requirements and providing feedback to students. |
| |  | Highlights where resources should be
directed, and identifies children at risk, thereby directing valuable resources, such as time, to the areas of greatest need. |
| |  | Presents
comparative analysis by group, such as gender and ethnicity. |
| |  | Both itemised and holistic methods of assessment are catered for
in any combination. |

Both itemised and holistic assessment can be performed with the same set of
tools and data. |
| |  | Information from previous years assists in planning and guiding
student assessment. |
| |  | Automatically tracks assessment from established plans. |
| | School-wide Analysis |

gender, level, age, ethnicity and curriculum strands. These tools identify:
achievement; school wide strengths; children/ groups at risk; and curriculum
areas requiring development. |
| |  | Enables comparative assessment over time. These tools provide detailed
information necessary for long-term and professional development planning.
Statistical information and analysis can be used as a basis for reports to
authorities. |
