Recording lesson attainments through a project
If you aren’t using My planner to timetable your lessons, it is also possible to record your pupils’ end of lesson attainments by opening the project that you are teaching and finding the lesson you have taught.
Recording attainments
In order to record the lesson attainments through a project, you will need to open the project in question then:
- Click on the lesson title, to open the lesson information.
- Click 'No planned lessons'.
- Click 'Assess unplanned lesson'.
On the screen that appears, you can see all the classes or learning groups that you are assigned to. Choose whether you want to assess the whole class or any specific learning groups that you have created by selecting them. The class/group will automatically have 'Attained' selected. By clicking on this, you can change the attainment for the whole class:
If the whole class was present and everyone had attained the objective, you can click on 'Save' and Maestro would record that attainment judgement for all children.
However, if some children were absent for that lesson or didn’t fully attain the lesson objectives, click on 'Edit individual attainments' to load up the lesson’s attainment page.
All children are marked as Attained for the objectives that were taught as part of the lesson.
By clicking on the Select attainment button at the top of each row, the attainment for the whole class may be changed for any of the objectives. For example, the pupils may not have attained the core knowledge, so by clicking at the top of a column, everyone's attainments can be changed at once.
The coloured circles will show what the children have attained on the last three occasions when they were taught this objective. If you click on the circles, you see a list of all the times that the objective has been taught, when it was taught and what the child attained.
However, individual pupils may be edited, if required, by clicking on the 'Select attainment' button next to their name to change the attained judgements for all the objectives. Then, click 'Save' once you have recorded all of your attainments.
Please note - if you wish to include LNF/DCF objectives for the lesson, you will need to repeat this process to get to page where you record individual attainments then click the 'Skills and knowledge' tab at the top of the page, select to 'Edit Skills and knowledge' and then click '+Add LNF/DCF/DoL'.
Use the filters sat the top of the page to find the required objectives, select them and then click 'Add objective'.
Once you have added all the LNF/DCF/DoL objectives, just click on 'Save' in the top right corner then you can click on the new 'LNF/DCF/DoL attainments' tab.
Children will be automatically marked as 'Covered' for the attainment and then you can deselect individuals to speed up the process. Once you have completed recording all the attainments, just click on 'Save' in the top left corner and close the tab at the top.
When you return to the project, you will now see that a lesson has been taught, and you can click on the 'Planned lesson' button and select the lesson to show you the details. You can also review all lessons you have recorded attainments for by where it now says when the lesson was taught.
Reviewing attainments
An overview of the lesson and the children's attainments will appear but you can also click on 'Review' button to view further information or edit the attainments.
