SSAT Data Enabler Toolkit

[CaterinaAnna]

Does anyone have any more information about this package?

All I can find is the page on the SSAT website which doesn't say a lot about what sort of reports it can provide, or what inputs/models it uses for the predictions it generates, although there is also the OfSted bumf on the use of data which mentions it in a few paragraphs and explains that it gives answers you would prefer to recieve in certain cases.

Is it worth investing in or am I as likely to be doing just as well already with FFT, SIMs & Excel?

The toolkit is an online resource that is used in many secondary schools. The main feature is the Jesson templates that gives predictions across all key 'targrts' and most -177- subjects.

It is a 50th percentile model based on KS2 data and compare this to outcomes at KS4. Students are in quintiles based on their KS2 scores and it is a very powerful tool in helping raise standards in schools. It is also a platform from where you can access Raise and FFT live.

 

I would recomend that you contact Julia Quigley at the SSAT in Guilford and she ill send you the 'package' options. This can include a training event and then consultancy.

 

Use of these templates has been a major part of my schools rise fron 15% - 74%.

 

The benefit then from knowledge of Educational Outcomes online and National Challenge software further enhances the targetting of students to ensure you maximise their potential.

 

Hope this helps
