Tie assessments, observations, evidence of learning artifacts and more to local expectations, outcomes, standards or competencies. Comprehensive support for advanced standards-based assessment and reporting with proficiencies and mastery.
Align your teachers with your region’s specific approach to assessment and reporting. Rubrics allow assessment on multiple dimensions, but they’re just the start. Edsby supports advanced assessment and reporting schemes far beyond simple A-B-C, percentage and rubric schemes. Use multi-level stranding (e.g. EGSN, KTCA, etc.) and standards-based assessment. Tailor with your terminology. Even pre-configure teacher gradebooks and assessments with preferred grading and reporting defaults.
Grade and mark up popular electronic document types. Teachers choose when to share with students & parents.
Assignments can be given in Google Drive or M365 without students needing to submit when complete.
Best-in-class systems for capturing and sharing learning across the full range of K-12.
Invaluable for evaluation of early year students but useful everywhere. Teachers can make observations and capture formative learning evidence in notes, pictures and videos to help in triangulation of a student or class’ progress. Observations and evidence can be shared with other teachers and parents and organized for reference at reporting time.
Evidence can be shared for student and parent reactions and input.
Teachers can communicate student progress with special subjective indicators.
Students can showcase their best work in sortable, filterable personal electronic portfolios and reflect on their assignments, ask questions, track their growth and document their learning.
See what formative and summative data are indicating about class performance with Edsby’s Perspective views. Perspective Analyze enables teachers to make informed instructional decisions for individual students or groups of students based on multi-dimensional assessment data.
Teachers can generate official student report cards with comment libraries. Calculated grades can be overwritten.
Formative and summative data, progress against standards, attendance & more are a click away when teacher are writing report cards in Edsby.
Official report cards can be printed or published electronically, saving time and resources. Manage report cards across an entire region without needing to build support in each SIS/SMS.
Supporting local assessment & reporting approaches today and tomorrow.
Create and re-use online tests with a variety of question types, many with automatic grading. Grades appear in the gradebook. Can be used for traditional quizzes, exit ticket or student reflection and can be performed via web browser or mobile app.
Assign different assessments to subsets of students as desired.
Parents receive their own accounts, tied to their children’s, as a window into their achievement. They see learning evidence of younger children curated by their teacher, incl. photos, videos, lesson plans or videos of class interactions. Information is real time, not a periodic email abstract.
It’s a little thing teachers love! When creating a new assessment, Edsby can recommend the best due date and time after searching the calendars of students in the class for events, other assessments, planned absences or other potential conflicts.
Comprehensive all-in-one platform makes daily tasks easier to manage and navigate.
