How to Track Student Progress

Track Student Progress with Assessment Tests

Before tracking student progress it’s essential to know where they are when they start! That is to say, measuring their current knowledge is vital in tracking improvements.

Therefore, administering a pre-test before starting is advisable. This will then allow you to create a learning plan for the student’s gaps in knowledge. Helpfully, Oases will do this automatically for you based on the questions the student got wrong.

Then when tutoring is complete your student takes a post-test and you will be able to track student progress. Consider measuring:

• Score gain
• Percentage gain
• Grade Equivalency gain

Session Reports & Progress Notes

After every session has taken place your tutor will make notes of that session. 

In other words, tracking student progress by not only making notes of the subject matter covered but the student’s understanding of the material.

Furthermore, your tutor can also notate things like the student’s approach and attitude. While these are qualitative, they will form part of the overall progress of your student.

Mini Quizzes to Track Student Progress

During tutoring your tutors can give ‘pop’ quizzes to measure understanding of the day’s subject matter.

Daily quizzes don’t have to be large and ominous. For example, one problem or 4 short questions will suffice to track tutoring progress..

Pick a platform such as Oases, where the results can be recorded immediately by your tutor and form part of the student progress record.

Progress Reports

Finally, all your measurements and tutors observations and tests must be easy to produce. That is to say producing a progress report for your student must be simple. This will put all data for tracking student progress into one place.

Choose a platform such as Oases where notes, observations and results are collated into a simple report for each student. Furthermore, circulating this report directly from your software is paramount. 

For example, emailing the report directly to a parent, teacher or school district must be a couple of clicks.
