Have you noticed that conventional teaching methods may no longer be as effective when using a school management software? If yes, then don’t worry – it’s time to get creative and find other ways to improve your students' performance!
A school management system is now becoming one of the most essential parts of daily school operations. It holds many important functions such as, securing attendance taking, collecting fee payment and many more. In addition to that, it enables teachers, administrators, students and parents to communicate directly to one another, through a centralized platform.
As a result, parents on the other hand, may have higher expectations of schools. It is no longer just about their children’s grades but also about their overall development. While the best school management system provides an organised and productive system, how you use it for easy management and student improvement is entirely up to you.
Let us now look at how schools can use a school management system to improve student performance:
Dashboard reports
One of the primary reasons for poor student performance is that teachers lack critical information and organised data to develop new teaching methods to increase student engagement. To tackle this issue, teachers can experiment with integrating school management software with dashboard analytics to identify areas of concern. Teachers are able to access these reports detailing information of their students from their grades to the activity they participate in.
These results may be viewed in various manner, whether it is a statistical format or in easy-to-read graphs. So, teachers can easily read them and identify the students strengths and weaknesses. Once the problems are identified, teachers can now work on how to help these students reach their full potential. The best part is that teachers can always re-examine the reports to see whether the students are showing improvement.
Role of Parents
Parents are an important part of a children’s learning experience. A smart school management system has the ability to get parents involved in their children’s progress daily.
Our Little Family Room allows parents to see videos or photos of their children in school when it’s shared by their teachers. As a result, parents are actively involved in their children’s education.
Not only that, a school management system also bridges communication between parents and school staff. Whether the administration wants to send a message to all parents, or a parent wants to communicate with teachers or a school staff regarding a particular concern of their children. Either way, Little Family Room aims to simplify communication between parents and teachers.
Automated Attendance
A school attendance management system is able to record and review student’s attendance automatically. This seems to be one of the most basic, yet extremely useful features in our software.
Here are some additional benefits of using our school attendance management system, Little Check In:
- Keep a record of student and school staff attendance
- Our advance attendance technology adds an additional layer of security, by attaching a photo of the student with their guardian upon arriving or leaving school
- Send automatic notification to parents that their child is safely in school
- You are able to read an overview of your schools attendance
Organized Student Portfolios
With a smart school management system, teachers are now able to store portfolios digitally. Apart from being a storage system, parents can access them whenever teachers share them through the Little Family Room App. Teachers no longer need to spend long hours on evaluating and printing work files of each student. Not only is it efficient, it saves lots of paper too!
Here are some added benefits of having a digital portfolio:
- Student’s development are accessible and updated all year round
- Teachers can share child’s progress with parents through various mediums such as, photos, videos and texts
- Personalised learning standards to be tailored to the school's learning checklist and to standardise educational quality.
We support schools in trying out these tips to enhance students’ results and performance by using a school management system. It doesn’t matter what the advantages or disadvantages of a school management system are, the most important part is to remember that a robust system has far more benefits than a traditional classroom.
