Are your average student outcomes improving each year?
Collecting quality assessment data is just the first step in building accurate student profiles for personalised or differentiated learning. Teachers need fast, accurate and easy-to-read data analysis for timely student feedback on their teaching effectiveness.
AutoMarque’s software package for schools provides data analytics for evidence-based teaching, and is a remarkable teacher productivity improver.
AutoMarque enables teachers to mark thirty students’ paper-based responses to written assessments, multiple choice questions and practical work in less than two minutes, using a photocopier or portable sheet-fed scanner connected to a computer.
Using this resource teachers learn of the effect size of their teaching and, as a result, strive to improve their teaching effectiveness.
When students learn of their Index of Educational Growth they strive to improve their learning growth as they can see where to focus to achieve this. Teachers are finding that when they provide this form of feedback, high performing students continue to strive to improve, something they previously failed to do when presented with either a percentage or raw score.
When analysts at AutoMarque recently looked at their client schools’ NAPLAN history they found the schools fell into two categories – those that used AutoMarque to only save teacher time and those that improved their students’ outcomes. The two graphs below are examples of schools determined to lift students’ outcomes. It should be noted that both schools 2016 results are their best ever.
It is worth looking at your school’s record in this way. Are you seeing an improvement year on year with your grade 9 average outcomes? If not, give us a call, we can help you change the lives of both your students and teachers.
