ProgressTeaching is unique in the range of data it can provide for trust leaders looking at teaching quality, however, we recognise there can be a tension between the centralised system a trust wants to introduce and a school wanting to keep the language it uses. The Settings > Trust Mappings section of the platform solves this problem so that trusts can gain detailed insights into their teaching quality data in the following dashboards:
- Trust Feedback Coverage
- Trust Feedback Overview
The 'Trust Mapping' pages allow you to group similar subjects, habits, categories and teacher types under 'trust labels'. For example, the category label a trust wants to use may be 'Learning walk' whilst one trust school prefers to call it 'Lesson drop-in' and another uses the term 'Temperature check'.
Please note if you do not assign each subject, habit, category and teacher type to a trust label, the tabs will not appear on your 'Trust Feedback Coverage' or 'Trust Feedback Overview' dashboards for analysis.
To map your teacher types, navigate to Settings > Feedback Management > Trust Mapping > Teacher Types
Below is a key with descriptions of all the features available on the teacher type Mapping page.
