New lower-secondary curriculum

The competency-based report, worked out

Teachers enter each unit’s score, the project and the exam. The totals out of 20 and out of 100, the descriptor and the grade follow.

  • Up to five units a term, each out of 3 unless you choose another maximum.
  • The project out of 10 and the exam out of 80, or the maximums your school uses.
  • Descriptor and grade bands are your own, with what each descriptor means printed on the card.
  • The class teacher’s and the head teacher’s comments on every card, and a whole class printed at once.

Progressive tests

Every test of the term, on one card

Set up to ten tests a term. Each student’s card shows every test, the average, the grade and how they are moving.

  • Averages, grades and positions from your own grading scale.
  • The best and the weakest subject, and whether the student is improving, steady or slipping.
  • A class analysis sheet counting how many students got each grade.
  • Parents see the report in the app when you choose to show it.

Fees and SchoolPay

The bursar’s office without the queue

Bill the whole school each term, bring SchoolPay payments in by themselves, and follow up the students who still owe.

  • SchoolPay payments matched to the student by their payment code, never twice.
  • Demand notices, lists, meal cards and gate passes for students who owe more than an amount you set, with an SMS to the parent if you choose.
  • Promises to pay recorded and checked against what was really paid.
  • Hostel, transport and other services billed only to the students who take them.

Timetable

A timetable no teacher is double-booked on

Lessons are checked as you add them: a teacher, a room or a class booked twice is stopped, with the other lesson named.

  • Monday to Saturday, with lessons as long as you set them.
  • Each teacher’s load and each class’s week, side by side.
  • Printed by class, by teacher or by room.
  • Schemes of work and lesson plans submitted by teachers and approved by the director of studies.

Your first week

From sign-up to the first reports

  1. Sign up

    Choose “Secondary”. S.1 to S.4, this year and its three terms are made for you.

  2. Bring in your students

    From an Excel spreadsheet, with the fees balances they carry. Our team helps.

  3. Subjects and teachers

    Give each subject its teacher, so each teacher enters marks only for their own.

  4. Assess and report

    Enter units, projects and exams, or progressive tests, and print the term’s cards.

Who does what

Subject teachers
Enter marks for their own subjects, take roll-calls and keep schemes of work.
Director of studies
Sets up assessment and report cards, reviews schemes of work and lesson plans.
Head teacher and deputy
Release report cards and look at fees and the books without changing them.
Bursar
Bills fees, records payments, brings in SchoolPay and sends demand notices.
Warden
Keeps the hostels: rooms, beds and who sleeps where.

Each member of staff signs in as themselves; their role decides what they can change and what they can only look at.

Good to know

What it does not do yet, so you can plan for it:

  • New-curriculum report cards are printed and handed out; the parents’ app shows progressive-test reports, not the new-curriculum card.
  • New-curriculum scores are entered on a computer, not in the app.
  • UCE results come from UNEB. School Dynamics keeps your own assessment; it does not work out UNEB’s UCE grades.
Questions

What schools ask us

Does it follow the new lower-secondary curriculum?

Yes. Each subject takes up to five unit scores, a project and an exam, and the card shows the totals out of 20 and out of 100, the grade and the descriptor, using the bands your school sets.

Can we change the maximum marks?

Yes. Each unit, the project and the exam have a maximum you can change for the term; the defaults are 3, 10 and 80.

Can we run O level and A level together?

Yes. Choose “Secondary with A level” when you sign up and S.1 to S.6 are made for you.

Can parents see results in the app?

Parents see progressive-test reports in the app when you choose to show them, and their child’s attendance, fees and the school’s notices.

Can we bring in last year’s balances?

Yes. Students and the balances they carry come in from a spreadsheet, each checked before anything is saved.
