What this journey achieves
Over a semester a class accumulates tasks and marks. At the end, each student gets a report with a section for each class. This journey follows the work from the first task a teacher sets to the report a family reads.
Teachers set tasks, enter marks and write the comments on their classes. A head of department, a role a school composes for itself, reviews the department's tasks. The principal and executive, who hold the right to publish reports, open the period's reports and start the sign-off, and the last step sends each report home. Families read the published report in the portal.
The steps in order
- IT
Under Settings, Assessment, open Reporting periods and choose "Add a period". Give the name, the campus if there is more than one, the year levels, "Starts", "Ends" and when "Reports go home", then "Save the period".
/app/settings/assessment5.5 Module settings - Teacher
Open the class's markbook and choose "Set a task". Give the code, the task, its category and purpose, the due date and the weight.
/app/assessment/classes/[id]3.7 Assessment and reports - Teacher
Open the task and enter a result for each student, then choose "Save the marks". A teacher who owes marks reads the task on the home page and opens it from there.
/app/assessment/tasks/[id]3.7 Assessment and reports - Teacher
A head of department reads Department tasks, filtered to one department, to see which tasks are set, by whom, and how far they are marked.
/app/assessment/departments3.7 Assessment and reports - Principal and executive
Open Reporting and choose the period. Choose "Open the reports" and pick the "Template". Kestrel opens one report for each student in the period's year levels, with a section for each class.
/app/assessment/reporting3.7 Assessment and reports - Teacher

/app/assessment/reports/[id]3.7 Assessment and reports - Principal and executive
Once each section is written, choose "Start the sign-off". The chain the school set up takes the report from there and its last step sends it home. The period's page lists each report's step and standing.

Things to watch for
What happens next
Results build into the student's transcript, and the reporting library can run a table such as results by class and task. A student who leaves takes the transcript with them, as described in the leaving journey.
