Records middle school achievement for years 7-10 or non-NCEA students against New Zealand curriculum areas and strands, rather than NCEA standards.
Initial work on recording details of middle school student achievement is available for Intermediate, Area, Secondary and Full Primary years 7-10 students, or non NCEA students. This covers curriculum areas and strands from the New Zealand curriculum.
Middle School Achievement
For students in years 7-10 or non-NCEA students, progress can be recorded for subjects being taught by separate teachers. This needs to be set up for data entry by the Assessment Co-ordinator from the Reports > Middle School > Curriculum Topic Settings page where Attainment and Effort values are set up for the teachers to use in assessing and reporting to caregivers. These classes are not linked to NCEA standards, but instead to the New Zealand curriculum for assessment and reporting purposes.
In creating a new course, edge allows for change during the year to membership, for when teachers leave, or students rotate through the courses. A topic/activity is assessable against a subject with ‘attainment’, ‘effort’, report comment and note which can be linked to the curriculum. They may have multiple activities against the course, however there will be one main activity relating the course to the curriculum area. Teachers can enter data, report comments and notes.
