Classroom Monitor's single online repository means collecting paper assessments, pulling data from memory sticks or collating spreadsheets is a thing of the past. As teachers complete their classroom assessment, Classroom Monitor automatically collates tracking data ready for instant analysis.
Across the school, teaching staff and senior management can access, analyse and output collated data in a variety of formats. Classroom Monitor becomes a central resource, supporting feedback and consultation between students, teachers and parents alike.
Assessments can be extracted for easy import into your MIS or tracking sheets; data can also be easily analysed within Classroom Monitor itself.
Because Classroom Monitor uses a single scale to plot progress from entry (including data from primary school), transitional performance from Keystage 3 - 5 is fully visible.
Historic assessments and targets in Excel or from an MIS are easily imported into Classroom Monitor, so there's no loss of previously collected data and simple, seamless transition between systems.
Data analysis available to all at a click:
- Compare student and cohort progress, student profiles and strengths and weaknesses
- Identify and track intervention groups and students
- Review value added assessment information
- Track students and groups against targets
- Create learning plans for any student based on assessment; highlight targets for student or parent and share them instantly
- Compare and analyse: FSM, SEN, ethnicity, gender, year groups, and any other intervention groups you choose
- Compare subject and department progress, strengths, weaknesses and attainment levels
- See spread of ability and progress for any subject and cohort
What’s the difference between using Classroom Monitor and a tracking sheet (either in your MIS, Excel or another system)?
A tracking sheet allows a teacher to enter a score for a student. There is no reference to how the teacher has calculated the judgement and is subjective to the individual’s opinion. It also doesn’t clearly represent what to teach to a student or what resources are available to help the student attain their objective and make progress.
Using Classroom Monitor teachers can easily plan lesson based on students individual needs. Monitoring of progress is easy and relevant to specific skills and objectives, feeding Assessment for Learning. As teachers use markbooks the data for tracking is automatically dated and available instantly school wide for analysis. Teachers save time by writing reports in the same place they record assessments. Linking teacher assessment to reporting and analysis vastly streamlines processes in a school to save time and money as well as improving consistency and ensuring the focus is on the student as an individual .
