Student success hinges on many factors, but school support is an essential aspect. A pupil’s personal and academic development is massively dependent on their school; it is crucial that students are learning in empowering and supportive environments. ECINS is helping schools with setting students up for success from day one by ensuring that they are equipped to reach their full potential.
Schools can make steps towards nurturing academic and personal success by creating the optimum environment for development.
There are many variables that push for student success from day one. Schools can support a student in reaching their potential by:
- Promoting organisation.
- Goal-setting.
- Monitoring attendance.
- Promoting meaningful teach-student connections.
- Meaningfully involving parents.
- Prioritising mental wellbeing.
- Monitoring progress.
- Creating an accepting environment.
- Encouraging participation in extracurriculars.
When a school has these measures in place, students receive the supported necessary for reaching their personal and academic potential. Implementing these factors gives schools the ability to change the trajectory of a student’s life.
How ECINS Helps
ECINS understands the importance of setting students up for success from day one. Systems have been developed to support schools in helping students and maximising success for school staff and young people.
There are various modules and tools that facilitate schools preparing for student success.
CMM
- Monitoring progress: The Case Management Module has all necessary assessments pre-loaded for staff to carry out with students. Staff can produce wheel assessments, charts, and graphs from the gathered data. They can visualize different data points to support a student’s progress by comparing past and current assessment scores.
SEM
- Goal setting: ECINS’ task-setting feature on the Student Engagement Module can be personalised by trusted staff members. Whilst students can complete self-set goals, teachers can also upload tasks tailored for each student. For example, a teacher can set a quieter student the task of raising their hand in class. This is an excellent tool for aiding student growth and success.
- Mood journaling: An outlet for students to disclose their emotions and concerns. Selecting an emoji that corresponds with their mood and writing a short entry encourages students to de-stress. The exercise indicates that a young person’s feelings are accepted and valid. In one study, 87% found journaling as a form of self-therapy.
- Attendance tracker: The ECINS attendance tracker incentivizes class attendance by showing students a visual of how much learning time they miss when absent. It also lets them track their progress toward attendance goals. Students log their attendance by scanning the QR code provided for each session. Students tasked with attending extra-curricular sessions – such as after-school sports or revision workshops – can confirm their attendance and take an active role in improving themselves.
- Help & Advice documents: Educating students on equality and diversity is invaluable. The help + advice documents on the SEM can provide informative resources on issues of equality and contact information for reporting discriminatory behaviour. Informing students of how to be respectful and reach out for help is essential in creating an accepting environment for all students to thrive in.
- Calendar: The calendar feature works in collaboration with tools like the task-setter to give students the resources to reach their goals. Presenting responsibilities like social worker meetings and homework deadlines allows students to organise their academics and succeed.
PEM
- Meaningfully involving parents: The SEM can also be presented as a PEM (Parent Engagement Module). Users will still have access to the mood tracker, task-setter, attendance-tracker, chat function, calendar and help + advice documents. The difference is, these features will be at the disposal of parents. ECINS’ PEM tailors support for parents collaborating with schools to improve themselves and their children’s lives. For example, parents can add court dates in the task-setter, and help + advice documents assist struggling parents. Supporting parents enables students to gain more from their education and home lives.
