ShorehamGeek Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Have been asked to look into creating a short-list of software for performance management, CPD, classroon observations and School Development planning. What are you using? Would you recommend it? If not, have you heard of anything else worth investigating? Hope I've picked the right forum, if not please would a helpful Mod move it? Thanks in advance.
vikpaw Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi, i think it's reasonable to have here, it certainly will have links to the MIS, and is part of the broader suite. We don't use anything, but, we did hear from blueskyeducation which looked good, is a BETT awards finalist, the only thing that put me off was because of our location internet is poor and i'm sure it was a web offering. For some elements we'll be able to store CPD records and PM in the main MIS - Engage. 1
fairm010 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Sounds similar to what we use here. The most comprehensive and widely used online performance management solution for schools. - BlueSky Education 1
fairm010 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I have no idea, sorry. It was brought in without any input from myself and I do not use it. 1
vikpaw Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I can give you a contact if you want, i originally got in touch through an Ex Capita employee. 1
vikpaw Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 PM Sent. It was Nicky Spence. Be interested to hear what you think, or what you eventually settle on - saves us doing the research
Banjo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I would highly recommend Perspective | Angel Solutions Ltd They are a good company who listens and responds to their customers. Edited March 23, 2015 by Banjo 2
vikpaw Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Does anyone know which MISes these packages support and to what degree? For future posts, it's useful to know, as the first fear in my mind is, oh no, not another set of logins and a system that needs constant maintenance to feed data in and keep it up to date. An ideal system will have this thought through so it's less headache.
vikpaw Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Bluesky hooks into our SIMS.net install Lucky you. Does it keep itself updated?
fairm010 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I'm fairly certain it runs an update at 2AM every day. 1
