Progressions and Result Sheets

Last updated

Result Sheets open as a tab on your Teacher Home page. You need the Manage Assessment permission.

Result Sheets give teachers a single grid for viewing and entering student results — markbook results, progression levels, NCEA standard results and template reporting — with comments, evidence files and the option to publish results to the News Feed for students and caregivers. The Progressions module (Result Sheets, Result Sheet Configuration and the News Feed) must be enabled for your school — contact support if you don't see it.

Opening a Result Sheet

Result Sheets open as a tab on your Teacher Home page. You need the Manage Assessment permission.

  1. Open the Result Sheets tab on Teacher Home (or use the Result Sheets menu item).
  2. Under Select Result Sheet, choose the Year, then choose a Result Sheet. The dropdown is grouped by type: Markbooks, Progressions, NCEA Standards and Template Reporting to Parents/Whānau. Retired sheets are labelled (Retired). Access is based on the courses you teach; Principal's Nominee, Assessment Analyst and Assessment Coordinator roles can open all sheets.
  3. Optionally tick Load Student Images and Autosave Every 2 Minutes (on by default).
  4. Under Display Options, choose the Student Details columns to show (Date of Birth, Ethnicity, Gender, NSN, Year Level) and which Result Sheet Columns to display. Toggles include Show Averages Row, Sticky Progress Column, Show Pre-Enrols and Show Leavers.
  5. Under Filter Students, filter by Class, Year Level, Course or Group (leave blank for all students), then click Go.

Entering and saving results

  1. Click Enable Editing on the results toolbar.
  2. Enter results directly into the grid.
  3. Click Save Edits when you're done (or rely on autosave if you left it ticked). Click Disable Editing to lock the grid again.

The toolbar also provides Pin/Unpin Controls, Expand/Shrink Comments, and an Import/Export menu with Export Result Sheet and Export/Import Results.

For Progressions sheets, every saved change is recorded in a history log (new value, previous value, who changed it and when), so progression judgements are fully audited.

Comments and evidence

  • Each result can carry a comment. The Edit Comment window includes a Comment Bank for reusable comments.
  • Comment Functions can insert generated content into comments: an Assessment Summary, Attendance Statistics, an Insert Result token, and Totalling Functions (average, sum, logic and custom equations).
  • Progression Evidence lets you upload supporting files against a student's progression — up to 5 files per progression per student. Accepted types: doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, pdf, jpg, jpeg, bmp, png, txt and csv. Files can also be imported from Google Drive.

Publishing results to the News Feed

Staff can publish selected results or progressions straight to the News Feed — posts are created deliberately by a staff member, never automatically.

  1. From the Result Sheets toolbar, choose Create News Feed Post.
  2. Select the students and result columns to include.
  3. Set the visibility (Viewable by Caregivers, Students), display start and end dates, tags, and the result type (Progress or Result).
  4. Write the post using keyword tokens — {Student Name}, {Result}, {Result List}, {Comment} and {Result Column Name} are substituted with each student's actual values when the post is saved.
  5. Optionally tick Include Evidence to attach the student's progression evidence files to the post.

The News Feed tab on Teacher Home (enabled by the same module) is where staff view and manage posts.

What progressions are

Progressions are a type of result sheet used to record a student's position on a school-configured set of progress levels (for example, curriculum steps). The list of progression levels is configurable for your school, results are chosen from that list, each change is history-tracked, and evidence files can be attached to each judgement.

Result Sheet Configuration

Result sheets are set up on the Result Sheet Configuration page (under Admin > Setup), which requires the Configure Markbook permission. This is where sheets, their columns and progression data types are defined; the Result Sheets tab is the day-to-day entry surface for teachers.

Tips

  • Use Show Pre-Enrols and Show Leavers when you need to enter or review results for students outside your current roll.
  • The Show Averages Row toggle adds a summary row across the sheet — useful for a quick class overview.
  • Leave Autosave Every 2 Minutes ticked during long entry sessions so work isn't lost.
