Standard+3.3.8

=Advise and assist colleagues to design, use and maintain effective and efficient record-keeping systems that monitor students’ learning progress. =

The use of the [|Yr 11 Exam Feedback]grids has not only proven useful for our students as explained in 3.3.7 but it has formed a very effective and efficient record system to monitor students’ learning progress. This system has been adopted by some of my colleagues, in particular a colleague who I was mentoring.

I explained the following procedure to her:

“Each time I fill in these sheets I either scan or photocopy the sheets.

Keeping a record of the feedback enables me to:-


 * offer parents clear feedback and advice on their daughters’ academic strengths and weaknesses
 * write clear and targeted reports that can provide useful, practical advice
 * discuss each students strengths and weaknesses with them
 * develop a personalized study plan with each student

These notes may take up space or require the use of technology to access them but the advantages are worthwhile when providing either written or oral feedback to individuals. These records are also invaluable when discussing the specific needs of students. One can easily give very specific examples, rather than relying on a fading memory or a group of marks or grades.”

I have found Moodle quizzes to be an effective way of monitoring and recording my students’ progress. I have sent an instruction sheet [|Using iSchool Quizzes]to my own faculty, to the ICT coordinator and the Director of Teaching and Learning for dissemination to the school community. One of the [|email responses] indicated that this model of record keeping was posted on the staff ICT section of iSchool for all staff to view.
