Wales PLC (Professional Learning Communities) launches across Wales

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:34:52 +0000

Wales PLC Online was launched at the ‘Teaching makes a difference – one year on’ which was the first in a series of four education conferences being held across Wales throughout March. WebBased attended the event and demonstrated the system alongside Welsh Government officials to the Minister for Education and Skills, Leighton Andrews AM. The National PLC model has seven inter-related phases and guides Facilitators and members through each phase clearly providing powerful tools for tracking progress, collaboration, files, evidence and impact. The model outlines how PLCs are established, how data is used to select the focus of enquiry and how PLC members work interdependently to secure improvements in learning outcomes.

Survey Centre successfully supports IAG Evaluations in Devon & Torbay

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 12:45:37 +0000

Following on from the previous years’ success, Devon and Torbay LAs completed another IAG Evaluation with Year 9 and Year 11 learners at the end of the last academic year. The purpose of the surveys was to collect feedback on how learners feel about the careers education and guidance they have received, with the aim of improving the process in the future. Nearly 2,000 learner responses were submitted for the surveys, allowing the LAs to produce powerful reports and look at implementing improvements for the coming year.

A range of new features recently released also allow schools to create their own in-house surveys, build a library of response options to use in different surveys and compare the results of one survey side-by-side using different reporting criteria.

“Our schools were so delighted with the results from last year that we are running evaluations across the two year groups again this year. We are also supporting them in creating their own surveys for use for example with parents, governors or even subject groups. From an administrator’s point of view the feedback has been very positive in that Survey Centre is a flexible tool and simple to use”.

- Chris Maccullie (Area Coordinator, South and West Devon Partnership)

i-Surrey rollout exceeds expectations

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:01:05 +0000

Working with Babcock 4S Education, the rollout of i-Surrey to schools and colleges across the county over the last 9 months has been recognized as being one of the most successful IT projects in recent years! i-Surrey allows offsite learners’ attendance and progress to be tracked, monitored and reported on; fulfilling safeguarding requirements for schools as well as removing paper based versions. Surrey has also praised the supportive and responsive WebBased team that has made achieving these excellent results possible.

Student tools will be introduced over the coming months, allowing every learner to have their own online Individual Learning Planner (ILP) which will, in turn, lead to a Transition Passport at 16+. The initial focus for the ILP will centre on students following Foundation Learning programmes, before extending it more widely among 14-19 year olds in Surrey.

“This system has made our annual reporting so much more efficient for teachers and administrative staff, saving valuable time and money.”
Graeme Adams – Guildford 11-19 Partnership

“i-Surrey has made the tracking and monitoring of attendance and achievement in collaborative provision so much easier. We can now see patterns or trends and act accordingly.”
Jonathan Stewart – 14-19 Consultant, Surrey
