Advanced Marksheet Techniques
Essential CPD for assessment co-coordinators and data managers.
Over three hours of video lectures that take you step-by-step through real-world assessment problems. Learn how to:
- Use nested-if-then-else formulas to add more than just 5 colours to marksheets,
- convert numbers to grades to make data analysis easy
- calculate 5+ A*-C inc E+M grades using the grade tally formula,
- using the sum and mean formulas to work out the total and average GCSE points scores
- calculate the Estimated Attainment 8 value for a pupil
- calculate the Actual Attainment 8 value for a pupil
- calculate the P8 value for a pupil
- create a target or flightpath based on a baseline assessment (KS2 or Year 7)
- extend the Programme of Study marksheets using traditional formulas and templates
