Tracking

 I like to track the work that my students complete as we go so I can have an eye over everything and know what needs some focus. We use Hapara Workspaces as a whole school and the workspace itself creates a spreadsheet of the work on that particular workspace. I don't tend to use these as I like to have everything in one place for all my classes.

I list out all the tasks for a standard / project and then link the students work from the workspace. This spreadsheet is shared with the whole class so they can see where they are up to. As I get the links from the workspace, only the individual student and me has access to their work they can't see each other's work.

As a Creative Arts Department, we needed to make sure that we were entering all the students in  our classes for a "full" course that enables them the ability to achieve enough credits in our subjects for a 1/5 of their NCEA requirement.

To this end, a spreadsheet has been set up that includes all of the subjects, student names and the standards. Totals are kept and then we can see at a glance that all of our students are being offered enough credits in their courses.

As the students are completing work and results are coming in, they are being recorded on this same spreadsheet and graphs drawn. This gives a visual guide to who is doing well and who might need some extra support across the whole department. 

The colour codes on the results are something that I have been using for a few years now. Pink - NA, Green - A, Blue - M and Yellow - E.

I have also just started tracking how many credits are being achieved by each student in graph from. There is not much there at the moment but this will give a visual guide as to how each course is going in terms of how many credits each student is achieving.

This spreadsheet has been shared with management so they can see at a glance how the Creative Arts Department is doing overall over the year.
