Message: Hello! I saw this Tried & Tested Review on Teach Primary Magazine's website and thought you might like it - please find an excerpt below: OTrack Review t’s not a three pipe problem is it? The key elements of a school’s success in raising achievement is a stout focus on tracking and monitoring of individual pupil progress and forensic use of assessment data for progress tracking, setting targets and supporting pupils falling behind, slipping through the net or in those in danger of being derailed. Data is used efficiently by stakeholders to posit and answer questions about current standards, trends over time, progress made in order to track progress and to set high expectations. There, job done. Sounds simple but as we all know tracking and assessment can be messy, complicated and confusing. Drilling down churns up a lot of gunk and the pitter patter of tiny data and the ground stomping thuds of big data can weigh you down. This is where tracking solutions come to our assistance and there are plenty to choose from in the post-levels era of cry freedom.

The curriculum objectives you need can be tailored to what you need. All the formative data can feed into summative assessment and OTrack provide a wide choice of options. The idea is you can take your pick and this can be set up on a linear or non-linear basis. For example, Deeper Learning is a non-linear tracking method planned with the new curriculum in mind where the emphasis is on tracking the broadening of each pupil’s knowledge within a Programme of Study. The great thing here is that you can decide on your own summative data entry codes and have as many or as few you want. Post-levels schools use lots of codes when making judgments so whichever your school uses can be integrated within OTrack. So if you use W codes, great; if not,… If you want to read the full article, please visit: https://www.teachprimary.com/tried_and_tested/view/otrack-review Thanks!
