Introduction

Teachers often set behavioral expectations or set rubric and learner outcomes that they track.  This information can provide a very useful tool for teachers to use with students and with parents when discussing the factors that influence their marks and contribute generally to school success.  Often, they track these on a sheet of paper and tally up the results.  The Observables Tracker allows teachers to digitally gather this information and report on it all in one program.

Activity 1

The Observables Tracker tool automates the classroom data gathering process by allowing teachers to Create classes and observables/learner outcomes.  After classes are creates it allows them to choose a class and instantly Record student outcomes.  Once learner outcomes are recorded the program generates Reports that can show progress or trends related to these learner outcomes. 

With the Observables Tracker, any behavior can be tracked like lates or incomplete work, off task behaviors, etc.   Tracking learner outcomes in math and recording whether the student is beginning, developing, or proficient in a math outcome is also possible.  This is especially useful if you use rubrics in your classroom.
