This article will guide you through the various sections of Insights so you can familiarise yourself with this powerful tool.
My Dashboard
My Dashboard is your home base. Here you can see at-a-glance the progress of your classes and pupils in the active academic year.
Note: Educators will only see the classes they are assigned to for that academic year.
Classes
In this section you can access all of your school’s classes across different academic years.
During the active academic year, administrators can monitor every class at a high-level and educators will only be able to see the classes assigned to them. You can click on a class to mark papers, assess pupils, or view assessment history.
For any previous academic year, the class list is open to all Insights users in the school. This allows teachers to track their pupils’ progress throughout the year, as well as gives new teachers the ability to see where the gaps are in their pupils’ learning from a previous year.
Class-level features
Within each class, assigned educators and administrators can:
- Review and print reports (Achievement tab)
- Mark papers (Marking tab)
- Review pupil details (Pupils tab)
- Edit class permissions and settings (Permissions and settings tab)
Admin Resources
In this section you’ll find Baseline Assessment Papers and Administration Guides for how to administer the A and B papers for Year 1 to Year 6.
- Baseline Assessment Papers are a set of online papers you can download and print. There’s no need for you to order them through our Support Team.
- Administration Guides are instructional booklets on how to administer tests, including suggested timing, required resources and the content of the oral questions.
School Management
The School Management section is for administrators only.
In this section, administrators can perform several important tasks:
Manage pupils
Managing pupils may include creating a new pupil profile, editing a pupil profile or assigning pupils to a class.
Manage classes
Managing classes may include adding classes to an academic year, editing class settings, assigning pupils and educators or preparing next year’s classes in advance. It's also where administrators can activate a new academic year, when appropriate.
Download school data
Administrators can request a copy of their school's data as a CSV file. Data can be customized by pupil, class, year group or academic year.
