| Pupil Report
Writer (2010) |
|
|
|
|
Pupil
Report Management (Report4Me)
facilitates the creation, modification, retrieval and presentation of
word processed, Pupil Report documentation in a compressed database
format. |
|
|
Data
compression enables a significant amount
of information to be retained and accessed quickly without any program
restriction as to the number of reports nor the number of
user names.
The comment banks have in excess of 26,000 statements covering all
prescribed subjects of a pupil's education from reception, through
primary, to year 10 at secondary school; also headteacher statements. |
 |
|
These images
from 2003 show just how established our format has become, but
the comment banks and other data are updated regularly, including
the latest government directives and 2010 wording.
It
only
takes a few seconds per pupil-subject
to automatically create a concise description in line with
current terminology from their attainment target level,
assessment, test
and exam records; and/or customised statement banks and direct input.
However, in reality reading and making the odd change plus a final
personal statement turns the seconds into a few minutes. |
 |
|
The
principal is that it's less time
consuming for a teacher to delete unwanted data and/or customise text
rather than having to write reports from scratch. |
|
|
Text
may
be modified, spell checked and the
printed output formated to create a consistent school standard
completely from within the application.
Selected Student
Reports may be Exported to a removable disk drive ( such as usb
stick / drive ) then
Imported to the School PC in order to enable Reports to be merged and
printed with a different teacher for each subject. |
 |
|
The
use
of computer techniques is often more
precise and reduces the potential for error, including those due to
'burning the midnight oil'. If necessary use a handwritting font
to match up with other teacher's manual reports, there's a better range
of fonts available from XP plus systems.
Early generation Report Writers failed to produce readable results,
checkout the 'readability' of our automated reports before
dissmissing the concept, it could help save your sanity. |
|
|
There
are eleven 'User defined' subject
headings to help Secondary Schools as well as the twelve traditional
subjects in Primary, also PSHCEE and
Head's comments.
Parental feedback can also be accomodated, useful for those parent
evenings. |
 |
|
The
on-screen and printed subject descriptions can be customised, also
those not being used can be removed from view. The order in
which subjects appear in the printed document can be chosen to
suit
your School's reporting tradition.
Reports
can be accomodated for each pupil per
subject per week, however most schools just want to improve the way
they do those dreaded annual pupil reports.
For security
and data integrity reasons access to the program is via a Password
panel. Edit/delete facilities are only available if the Report Teacher
field and user name are identical, unless program accessed using the
system administrator's 'Teacher Name'.
Names and passwords are created initially during Registration but
thereafter the individual can change their password and the system
administrator can issue new 'Teacher Names'.
The design includes a number of novel concepts and is focused on
reducing the Teacher's burden. |
|
|
It
facilitates a 'distributed processing'
approach with 'data merge' features where Pupil groups and pupil data,
including photo, may be created on the school system and Imported
to a home PC;
Plus an advanced dictionary and thesaurus, spell checking and the word
finish function.
|
 |
|
Printed
pupil reports may be created for an
individual subject and/or for all subjects, even when created by
different Teachers in different Classes or Sets, also Headteacher
comments may be added and parental slips may be produced.
Subject headings with space for handwritten comments can also be
accommodated if necessary.
If report data does not exist then the
section is not created, thus there is no limit to subject
permutations.
