End of Term Screening: Establishing Groups For The Next Term

FAQ 1: We are preparing for the end of term review. We anticipate that some students will move up or down groups. Can you provide advice?

*** Tip 1: When moving into a new term, remove the previous description of the term's teaching plan. **For example when setting up the groups for Term 3, make sure the Term 1 and Term 2 have been removed. Keep in mind, that the information is still there, beause the cells are colour coded in Term 1 and Term 2 according to what was tragtede and taught. Definitely remove the descriptions.

*** Tip 2: Know that the groupings for the next term WILL CHANGE. **Some students will progress up a stage/group. Other students will be dropped to a lower stage/group. Sometimes a whole group will progress up. This means that when moving to a new term, the previous term's groupings will be impacted.

*** Tip 3: HIDE the previous term results, and focus on the more recent results. **Establish your teaching plan on the most recent results. If you do not know how to HIDE columns, view this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocEc9jplkMc&list=PLaxKqPSrwOUZccbF_QzR3AAiGaHdJCq_m
