English Reading and Writing Skills tracker and reporting to parents document

(0)
A spreadsheet to track English Reading and Writing skills. 9 Reading and 9 Writing skills are tracked for each pupil. Teachers grade pupils upon a 1-4 point scale, each skill can be assessed up to 10 times in an academic year. The reading skills are: Read aloud with fluency, Comprehension, Language Terms, Structure Terms, Analysing Language, Analysing Structure, Relevant Quotations, Comparison, Response to Task The Writing skills are: Vocabulary Choices, Spelling -Common words, Spelling -Complex words, Clarity, Structural devices, Punctuation between sentences, Punctuation within sentences, Varied Sentences, Handwriting The spreadsheet will then generate a graded comment upon each skill for each pupil to go into a mail merge document which can be sent out to parents. Data from SIMS can be entered upon teaching group, forename, surname, Target Level, OPT Level at end of Key Stage, Gender, PP (Pupil premium status), MA (More able status), SEN status, reading and writing scores and reading age upon entry. The spreadsheet uses macros (Will only work with Microsoft Excel for Windows) that automatically sort with the click of one button pupil data to be sorted by cohort or by teaching group alphabetically, by target Levels, OPT Levels, Reading criteria, Writing criteria, reading age upon entry. This is useful if you or your staff are not very familiar with spreadsheet commands. The Word document included allows a mail merge to be carried out from the spreadsheet data to produce cohort and group reports which pupils can self evaluate to identify their strongest and weakest skill areas, what is interfering with their progress and how they can make improvement in the future. These documents can be used to show progression over time, aid closing the gap meetings, show intervention strategies in performance management meetings. Includes: a fully detailed instruction/help power point, the tracking spreadsheet, the mail merge word document A copy of the helpfile showing what the resource will do can be found at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-reading-and-writing-skills-tracker-and-reporting-to-parents-document-instruction-help-ppt-12075079

Statistics for A Level Biology Spreadsheet & power point ppt

(1)
Interactive powerpoint and spreadsheet to demonstrate and calculate the following statistical functions required for A Level Biology: Standard Error Standard Deviation Chi-Squared for ecological studies Chi-Squared for phenotype ratios Student’s t-test for unpaired data Student’s t-test for paired data Spearman’s Ranked Coefficient of Correlation Where degrees of freedom and p=0.05 confidence levels are used they are automatically calculated from the inputted data and an indication is shown as to whether a null hypothesis for the data is to be accepted or rejected. The power point goes step by step through each statistical test, describing how to use it, how to calculate each one and what the results mean. The work sheet contains exam style questions and answers upon chi-squared which is covered with a step by step explanation at the end of the power point.

This is the Free Evaluation version of the Electronic Teacher Planner/Mark book spreadsheet. The Full paid for version available at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/electronic-teacher-planner-mark-book-12357931 A full paid for TWO WEEK TIMETABLE version is available at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/electronic-teacher-planner-mark-book-two-week-version-12358075 is a full teacher’s planner book enabling you to replace your paper based record book. It enables you to create a colour coded timetable (and will automatically generate a blank timetable with the appropriate number of period per day), a week by week lesson outline planning sheet, a register for each class that records attendance, performance and behavioural information upon each pupil, homework and test scores. The registers will rank the pupils according to assessment criteria, absences and upon test scores. The class analysis page will give detailed information upon the number of lates/tardiness, discipline issues, forgotten books, no homework, incomplete pieces of work and work graded excellent, good, satisfactory and poor. Schemes of work can be created and reports written upon individual students. Print outs of each class can be used at parent consultation evenings and as a record for SLT. Cover lesson instructions can also be created. I have used this spreadsheet in an ongoing developing form for the last 20 years and haven’t used a paper based planner in that time. The spreadsheet does require the use of macros and so they need to be enabled in excel, see the help page in the spreadsheet on how to do this. Please note this spreadsheet will not run on Mac versions of Excel, it will only run on PC versions of , due to incompatibility issues between Microsoft Office on the 2 different platforms.
