We have recently updated Edge to make the tracking of individual student progress in assessments over their time at school much easier. When you bring up a students profile page you will now see a new tab labeled Assessment Summary.
In this area you will see the curriculum areas that your school has configured assessments for in Edge. Clicking the blue arrow (chevron) next to one of these headings will open a page containing tracking graphs showing results for each assessment configured. As soon as a result is entered in the achievement area these graphs will update to display the latest information. Where relevant the graphs will also display published national average results for comparison purposes.
Hovering over a data point will display the actual result recorded. If required, each graph could be printed or downloaded as a picture file by clicking the 3 horizontal lines in the top right corner of the graph.
When you need to look closely at the assessment information for a cohort of students (class, year, group) over time we recommend the use of the Overall Tracking section of the achievement area. We have covered this in a previous post, but to recap, this part of Edge allows you to easily isolate results across several years. This gives you the ability to scan results for a cohort of students to identify how the students are tracking and to identify individual students who may need additional support or challenges.
For more on this see the post Achievement Updates in Edge Student Manager.
