As the new school year begins, educators face the important task of understanding student capabilities, setting goals and planning for success. This is the perfect time to familiarise yourself with Education Perfect’s (EP) powerful reporting tools, designed to help you monitor student progress and set the tone for a successful year.
In this blog, we’ll explore how EP can be your everyday ally. We’ll provide you with the insights needed to make informed decisions about extension and intervention, while equipping you with data and analytics for meaningful parent-teacher interviews and Term 1 reporting.
1. Accessing Comprehensive Reports
EP’s reporting tools offer a broad view of every student’s performance, making it easy for you to track progress from the very beginning.
To get started:
- Navigate to Reports: Log into your EP account and head to the “Insights” section. As the year progresses, you’ll be able to generate reports covering various aspects of student performance, such as participation, progress and proficiency.
- Customise Report Parameters: Tailor reports to focus on specific subjects, skills or time periods. Customising these reports allows you to track student strengths and identify opportunities for growth early in the year.
2. Analysing Student Progress
EP’s practical analytics empower you to track student growth and identify areas of focus as the year unfolds.
Our analytics features help you:
- Track Growth: Utilise EP’s growth metrics to compare student performance at different points in the year. This helps you to identify trends and measure individual improvement.
- Identify Strengths and Knowledge Gaps: Dive into specific skills and subjects to pinpoint where each student excels or may need additional support. EP’s detailed breakdowns offer insights that go well beyond traditional grading.
3. Preparing for Parent-Teacher Interviews
It’s never too early to start preparing for Parent-Teacher interviews! EP’s reports offer a clear, data-driven picture of student performance, which is valuable for setting expectations with parents.
These reports can help you:
- Generate Visuals: Use EP’s charts and graphs to visually communicate student performance, making student progress more accessible for parents.
- Highlight Early Achievements: Focus on initial milestones and early successes to set a positive tone for the year and identify areas for development.
- Prepare Actionable Feedback: Use EP’s insights to craft feedback for how parents can best support their child’s learning at home, fostering early partnerships.
4. Creating a Holistic View from the Start
As the year progresses, EP provides a powerful window into each student’s learning experience, giving you a complete view of their development.
You can:
- Integrate Different Data Points: Combine insights from quizzes, activity completion and participation levels to create a full picture of student engagement and performance.
- Provide Context: EP provides valuable quantitative data that complements teachers’ qualitative observations. As a teacher, you’re constantly assessing students through your professional judgment, but students are constantly evolving. Regular EP activities, whether weekly or fortnightly, provide more quantitative data points to build a fuller picture and give you a solid starting point to dig deeper.
5. Streamlining the Reporting Process
EP simplifies your reporting process so you can reinvest time into your classroom!
Take advantage of:
- Automated Reporting: EP’s automated reporting features reduce the manual effort of compiling data and ensure consistency in tracking progress.
- Export Options: Export reports in various formats (PDF, CSV) to share with parents and school administrators, or for use in academic records.
Happy Reporting!
EP is more than just a learning tool; it’s a powerful ally all year round. By harnessing EP’s reporting capabilities, educators can create detailed, data-driven reports that offer valuable insights into every student’s progress. This not only enhances the quality of reports but facilitates meaningful discussions during parent-teacher interviews, ultimately supporting individual student growth and development.
