Defined Progress Judgements

Learning Ladders offers different options to generate and report Attainment and Progress judgements. Your school has chosen Defined Progress Judgements.

Defined Progress Overtime is a common assessment approach used by International Schools as a way to demonstrate progress overtime. Defined Progress maps progress by comparing attainment in one half term and another point in time.

Take a look at the attainment judgement origin that meets your school’s assessment approach:

Calculated Judgements- Attainment judgements are generated from granular formative assessments recorded against each learning goal in your framework.

Point in Time Judgements- Teachers record a Point in Time Attainment judgement each half term.  This is a professional judgement recorded manually by the teacher.

Settings
An Admin User defines the mappings between Attainment judgements and the Defined Progress judgements in the Admin only ‘Settings’ page.  See an example below:

Senior leaders customise the school’s Attainment and Progress descriptors, to be used in half termly reports. See an example below:

How to view Defined Progress Judgements

Teachers either record granular assessments which are used in a calculation for an automated Attainment judgement, or record a half termly point in time judgement for Attainment. 

To view the Defined Progress Judgements go to Assessment Summary > Defined Progress.

Choose your selections for Academic Year, Class/Groups, Terms, Subject and Student Attributes.  Next, select the tab you wish to view.

Data Source allows you to filter the judgement origin.

• Calculated and/or Teacher Judgements shows either the automated Attainment judgement, or a Teacher Judgement Override if one exists.
  
  

• Calculated Judgements Only shows only the Attainment judgement generated by the formative assessments, with no Teacher Judgement Overrides included.
  
  

• Teacher Judgements Only shows only Point in Time Teacher Judgements or a Teacher Judgement Override.

The second tab is Attainment and displays the percentage of students working at each Attainment descriptor in a graph.  Clicking on the three dots allows you to print, download as image or download as .pdf.

Defined Progress Over Time displays the defined progress over time in a pie chart, using the mappings set by senior leaders in settings.  This takes an attainment judgement from one half term and another and defines the progress made by students.
