Communication

 

Step two: update your mailing lists

It's important that the right people are receiving the right emails.
So please ensure that your email preferences are up-to-date and accurate.

Update Email Preferences

 

STILL NOT RECEIVING EMAILS?
Some schools have filters that can block you from receiving external emails; be sure to check any spam/quarantine folders and whitelist TASS so you don't miss any important updates.

 

Step three: TASS SMALL GROUP TRAINING

We’ve created a range of training sessions designed to make the new year as productive as possible for your school.

Combining a hands-on workshop approach with a collaborative small group environment, these sessions will equip you with all the tools you need to start 2022 on the right foot.
 
Whether you’re new in the role, looking for a refresher or just want to solidify your school’s processes, we hope you’ll join us!

Learning Analytics

Between academic performance, national and external test results, classroom observations and attendance, schools have access to a lot of data on their students' performance - but it can be difficult to know how or when to use this information.

Giving staff, parents and students access to a tool that captures, analyses and interprets that data can help schools proactively identify the need for academic or wellbeing interventions, and ultimately optimise learning outcomes for students.

TrackOne Studio, the latest member of the TASS family of products, provides a comprehensive Learning Analytics Suite with a clear, interactive user interface that utilises the data already in your TASS system and can integrate with other software in your ecosystem.
