Preparing for reporting : Assessment and reporting management : Common functions

Common functions

The Common menu item contains functionality for both year K to 10 and senior school reporting.

The common functions are:

School Preferences

School preferences will contain the settings that will determine how the software behaves. This section will also contain settings that will allow the software to automate some reporting setup functions.

School Comment Categories

The school and teacher comment banks can be categorised to assist with comment location. This section will enable those categories to be managed.

Nominated Teachers

Nominated teachers are able to enter final comments for student reports. This section enables nominated teachers to be defined.

Assessment Scales

Assessments can be recorded using a variety of different scales. Some of these scales such as the recording of grades and Attitude, Behaviour and Effort (ABE) values will be defined and managed centrally; others are able to be managed at a school level.

Flexible Delivery

The Flexible Delivery tool assists with setting up the reporting arrangements where students are studying at more than one school. For more information, see the Flexible Delivery user manual or the Flexible Delivery section of the online help.

IEC Student Administration

The IEC Student Administration function allows IEC administrators to determine the information that will appear on an IEC Exiting report. This option appears only if the school has an Intensive English Centre.

EAL/D Student Administration

The EAL/D Student Administration function allows administrators to determine the information that is available to print on students’ reports.

SEN Reporting Frameworks

The Special Education Need function allows administrators to maintain a SEN reporting framework, define assessment scales that will appear on reports as well as customised Personal Development and Learning Behaviours for students with special education needs.

School Based Assessments

Assessment tasks are active for the period of the assessment outline. There are some school assessments that will be accumulated and updated for the life of the student at the school. The school based assessment window has been designed to allow assessments to be added that will be associated with all students and will record a value that will remain with the student for all periods.
