Assessment Software

[safcphil]

What are the staff using in your schools to log pupils levels and achievements? We are currently using connecting steps from a company called bsquared but it is extremely poor. Any recommendations?

Haven't you got anything in your MIS ? We use SIM's Mark Sheets which works well for class tracking although can be complicated to set up and maintain and needs someone with a good skill level and have developed our own system to extract data from SIM's into our own whole school system that does analysis of the data at key reporting points, and enables for all this information to be live and deals with new students, classes changes etc automatically so analysis on Student, Class, Subject, Form Group, Teacher, all Subjects with graphing etc and all this done automatically, with Intervention and Intervention Analysis built in, which we are looking at using with another school and possibly some of our feeders.

 

Could also look at these guys as Welcome | CCCC - 4CSoftware as I have used there software which was a bit of work to setup but gave a good level of analysis once implemented.

 

Another good system is SISRA although can be a little complicated for Staff to use gives a good level of analysis but you do have to upload student information fairly periodically and isn't automated so can mean data gets out of date new starters, students moving class etc. excellent for Exams analysis though.

 

If you want any more info or more detail give us a shout.

We use Sisra and SIMS Marksheets.

Sisra looks like it only does ks3 and above. We need p levels up

We use Illuminate DNA. Moved over from Data Director. Wish we were using Aeries Analytics since its built into our SIS.

 

Then again, we are in the US - California.
