VTaL : Aligning Assessment Deadlines with NCEA Data Updates
Streamlining NCEA Data Updates to reflect Formative Feedback from VTaL Task Lists
NCEA Data discussions between Middle Leaders and Senior Leaders are based from data summary sheets generated in Kamar, our Student Management System (SMS). In order to track the progress throughout projects and units of work, I developed a tracking sheet that reflects progress and achievement over the entire year, which I trialled with my Senior DigiTech class - VTaL and Student Achievement in DigiTech as at Oct 2017. We will now be trialling these data sheets in 2018, with Senior Technology classes within the Technology Department.
I have linked the VTaL Class Task Lists (developed from the Workspace Grade Sheet) into the DGT Data Sheet, as shown in the linked example below.
The Data Update Sheet enables the following to occur:
- Monitoring of progress within a topic, unit of work or project - Formative Feedback
- A snapshot of student progress within units of work - Formative Feedback leading to feedback and feedback for students
- A snapshot of student progress within units of work - Identification of effective interventions or strategies that are working, or, an opportunity to try different strategies if required
- A snapshot of the credit value for individual standards
- An overview of cumulative credits gained throughout the year
Some of the 'Major Benefits' of the Data Update Sheets include:
- Formative feedback of student progress within units of work
- Information can be shared within a department
- Information can be shared with Middle Leaders and Senior Leaders, that shows progress and interventions for individual students
