9. The solution What did we create? The requirements
Needs to be developmental and evaluative not judgmental – no grades
Reduction in administration time and paperwork – easy and time saving
Create helpful and useable data
Connect our systems and records
Be cheap
The solution
An online form to capture data on any device – Learning Walks, Book Looks, Student Voice
Use the Challenge Partners approach to evaluation – C E Q L
A central repository for all T&L evaluations
An automated processing and archiving of evaluations and communications
Devolve leadership and ownership of system to MLs and teachers – make it anonymous

10. Focus on Year 7 English, Maths and Science

13. How is it created What do you need to do
Set up your own Google Apps domain (Free)
Plan the criteria you wish to evaluate (it can be time consuming to go back and make major changes) these are the things that you will evaluate using the form
Create online Form and Spreadsheet – Use drop down lists where possible to help processing. Tip – set to automatically capture of user.
Create additional columns to process data using formulas – eg: if it is English put the English hods in the cell (IT could do this, it’s just like excel – tip use arrayformula)

14. How is it created
Create Merge doc (using google docs) that will process spreadsheet data and create pdf. – see handout. This follows the principles of creating a mail merge doc
Create a folder to store merged pdf archives – you can set permissions/share this
Connect Add-on “Autocrat” to your spreadsheet and set up with merge doc – here you can identify who to completed evaluations to
Create your dashboard - decide on your dynamic filters, then create a series of sheets that adjust accordingly. You will then calculate totals based on the filtered sheets and use these totals to generate your graphs.
Use your data – see handout report to govs extract.
