How Special Education works in SkillScorer
Score
Each teacher in a faculty is scored on the Special Education skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank teachers, compare two side by side, or compare your faculties against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Special Education skills need attention. Reports also follow each head of department's faculty.
Special Education scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Special Education scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Special Education scorecard covers 11 skills: Individualised Planning, Differentiation, Behaviour Support, Collaboration, Communication, Assessment of Learning Needs, Adjustments and Accommodations, Communication Strategies, Sensory and Regulation Support, Transition Planning and Working with Teacher Aides and Allied Health. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are teachers scored in Special Education?
Every teacher is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one faculty and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Special Education?
Special Education starts with these levels (called “Career Stage” in the app): Graduate Teacher, Proficient Teacher, Highly Accomplished, Lead Teacher and Coordinator. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Special Education skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In education the app talks about teachers, faculties and head of departments, and you can change any of those words too.
