Term-end results tell you what has already happened. Progress tracked through the term tells you what is happening and gives teachers a chance to act. The difference is whether marks are recorded as they are earned or collected at the end.
This article describes how to track student progress through the term and where a system helps.
Record as you go
Enter assignment marks and grades soon after they are earned. A record built through the term is more accurate than one reconstructed at the end.
Keep everything in one record
Assignments, grades, assessments and attendance sit with the student. A teacher can see the whole picture in one place.
Look for trends
A single low mark is a data point; three in a row is a trend. Compare current performance with earlier terms.
Combine with attendance
Attendance and grades often move together. A student whose attendance is slipping may soon see grades follow.
Plan remedial actions
Teachers can track progress, plan remedial actions and interact with parents while the term is running.
Share with parents
Parents can access academic reports and set appointments with teachers, so conversations begin from shared facts.
Review at mid-term
A short review at mid-term, with the data in hand, identifies students who need support.
A worked example
A teacher records every assignment as it is marked. At mid-term she looks at her class list sorted by recent marks and attendance, and sees three students whose marks and attendance have both dipped. She plans a short remedial session and speaks to the parents that week. In the old routine she would have found out at the end of term.
A mid-term review routine
Sort by recent performance, look at attendance alongside, pick the students who need support, and record what you will do and when. Repeat at the end of the term to see whether it worked.
