Report cards

Early-years and pedagogical-unit report cards

The two ways of assessing that don't use a numeric mark: early-years reports and continuously assessed groups.
Requires the premium plan

Report cards are part of the premium plan. If you can't see them in the menu, check Plans.

Not everything is graded with a number. Andrómeda has two forms of assessment designed for that.

Early-years report card

This is the version designed for the youngest children: instead of entering a grade, you write a descriptive report for each area.

It depends on the level's type

Only available in levels marked as early years. If you can't see it, check the level's type under Levels.

The indicators

The early-years report card is filled in against a list of indicators: the aspects observed and commented on in each area.

They're loaded under Options → Early-years report card, and they're what later appear as the report card's rows.

Define them before you start

The indicators are the structure of the report. Changing them mid-year leaves already-written reports resting on a different list from the new ones.

How it's filled in

Just like the standard report card: you pick the group and the period, and write. And like the standard one, the family sees it in the app once published.

Pedagogical unit

This is for groups assessed continuously across more than one year, rather than closing a mark each year.

The typical case is first and second grade taken as a single stretch.

How to turn it on

1

Mark the groups

Under Options → Pedagogical unit you choose which groups are assessed this way.

2

Choose the scale

It defines which indicators progress is recorded against.

3

Work from its own screen

The marked groups appear under Report cards → Pedagogical unit.

Only marked groups appear

If a group isn't showing on the pedagogical-unit screen, it's because it hasn't been marked as one. It isn't a fault of the screen.

Which to use

Standard report card

Most cases: primary and secondary, graded per period.

Early years

Nursery classes, where you describe rather than grade.

Pedagogical unit

Stretches spanning more than one year, assessed continuously.

All three are published the same way and families see them in the same place in the app.
