Student Tracking Systems
Assessment for learning is spreading throughout the world. Teachers, schools, ministries and parents want to be informed on a regular and frequent basis about the learning progress of students. The purpose of assessment is becoming more formative rather than summative. Student tracking systems are assessment tools that can help to monitor and support the continuous process of learning. Cito can help you to develop and implement students tracking systems.
- Formative assessment produces information of strong and weak points of learners and helps students improve the learning process.
- Schools all over the world want to include student tracking in school management systems to monitor this process.
- Student tracking systems are a powerful tool for quality assurance of education.
Do you recognize these issues?
- "We have developed and implemented a new curriculum. How can we follow the learning outcomes of the students and how can we systematically track information on learners' progress?"
- "How can we help teachers in formative assessment in order to enable them to provide students with the learning tools that fit individual needs?"
- "How can be build a system that helps measuring individual learning outcomes and helps design personalized learning?"
