The Progress measure consists of the Value Added Measure for Academic and Applied General qualifications and the Completion-Attainment Measure for Tech Levels and, when available, Tech Certs (Summer 2018). Value Added and Target Setting - Timeline A useful technique to help to visualise the system is to think in terms of time-scale. At any given point in time (today) there are Past students, Current students and Future students. e.g. in February 2018: Academic Year 16/17 Academic Year 17/18 Academic Year 18/19 Past students Current students Future students Sept 16 Sept 17 Sept 18 February 2018 (time of writing) The reason this is useful is that value added analysis is a large, rolling process which covers many academic years and where several academic years are relevant at any given point in time. – For example at the time of writing (February 2018), we have current students who will be making progress against their target grades. These target grades may well be based on the performance of past students (e.g. students who finished the same courses in 15/16 or 16/17). The value added for students who studied in 15/16 was made available in January 2017 and the value added for students who studied in 16/17 was made available in January 2018, so either of these datasets would be available for the setting of targets for current students as of February 2018. Furthermore, the 16/17 value added data (published in January 2018) will be available from day 1 of the courses which Future students (i.e. 2018/19 students) enrol onto. During academic year 18/19, a new value added dataset will be published (in January 2019) which can also be used with those students and students enrolling in September 2019 and so it goes on….. – The key features of OneGrade are that it helps you to: Analyse and evaluate the added results of past students, and also Plan, calculate, export and manage target grades for current and future students.
