Our users tell us that the attribute of Yacapaca that really sets it apart from other assessment platforms is the flexibility of the assessment authoring tools. You can:
* use off-the-shelf, pre-made assessments (23,000 of them at time of writing).
* write your own, completely from scratch.
* endlessly borrow, modify and repurpose content written by colleagues across the English-speaking world.
* differentiate content on-the-fly to build the perfect assessment for each student or set.
By the end of the session, you will be ready to plan and execute a comprehensive assessment library for your department, school or forward-thinking MAT.
Matt Baker is Head of Faculty, Science at Bangkok Patana School. He discusses the benefits of truly formative assessment, and using Yacapaca as part of a Mastery Learning teaching strategy.
Exam practice requires a massive investment of teacher time across the school, particularly for marking and feedback, yet the effectiveness of traditional approaches is limited.
In this recorded CPD session you will learn how you can create a complete suite of practice exams, correlated to your board's requirements and with consistent monitoring and analysis available at the Department, Whole-School or MAT level.
I demonstrate how you can acquire the practice exams you need quickly, either by re-using exams created by other schools, or by modifying/re-purposing questions from similar exams by other boards.
Imagine a school in which *all* the marks from *all* assignments were *instantly* available and analysable from a single dashboard, at SLT, HoD or class teacher level. And all without any additional work by teachers, because the data is drawn in automatically from students' assessments.
Think how useful this would be to:
* Form tutors
* Subject HoDs
* Year Heads
* SLT
In this session, I will show you exactly how to get realtime, monthly, termly or annual data out of Yacapaca, all in a graphical format ready to use direct or paste into your next report.
You will hear from HoDs who are already using Yacapaca's advanced features. And you will leave with a clear understanding that you can no longer do without a whole-school assessment platform.
Are all your students in school? Or...
* sent home due to Covid-19?
* long-term sick?
* Code-B?
* Excluded?
Yacapaca can help you keep them engaged with learning, without sacrificing attention to your on-site students. Or your sanity.
In this session we introduce you to teachers who are doing this already, and show you the four key tools they use. It's an interactive CPD session, with some really interesting discussion towards the end of the recording.
