How can AFPMS help focus on Academics in School?

Since 2020, the market awareness and availability of software as a service (SAAS) has increased multifold.

As educational institutions have come to realise, these ERPs, Website Management systems, etc. help keep digital records of administrative tasks. But, AFPMS stands out with regards to its ability to support academicians and students to achieve excellence by leveraging data to improve outcomes.

Some of the ways include:

Planning of Curriculum: The Board (CBSE, RBSE, ICSE, etc.) provides guidelines for each subject with topic wise periods and level of understanding to be developed in students of a particular class. This acts as the blueprint of developing a Microplan by the academic head to include the lectures, tests, activities and so on. With the help of AFPMS, the process of formulating this gets faster and smoother covering all the necessary steps as well as stakeholders.

Tracking syllabus completion: Teachers are extremely passionate about imparting the best education to their students. But keeping track of the syllabus vs lectures helps them to stay on track. At the same time, knowing how much syllabus has been covered in each subject, in every class, particularly for those taking board exams, is a crucial matter for the principal/academic head.

Pre-Exam Management: Facilitated communication regarding the curriculum covered in class allows for smoother exam syllabus planning, as the HOD is kept informed of the pace of syllabus coverage. Additionally, the exam calendar is added once and automatically distributed by AFPMS to inform students, parents, teachers, and the school administration. One can also go paperless in the context of exam date sheet distributed among students.

Post-Exam Management: Under the traditional system, after checking copies, subject teachers calculate individual student totals and maintain class records. These are then handed to the class teacher, who compiles the scores to compute the results for their section or class. Additionally, the responsibility of preparing report cards also falls on the class teacher. This process requires significant time and effort from faculty members. Today, AFPMS allows the entire process to be handled with just a few clicks, freeing up valuable time for teachers to focus on reviewing student performance.

PTM: If exam scores were the only information teachers needed to communicate to parents about their children, they could simply distribute them like date sheets. However, by leveraging AFPMS's Result Analysis features, parents receive the results and scorecards before the PTM. This allows teachers and parents to focus on more substantive discussions during their PTM meeting, maximizing the benefit of this valuable interaction.

Student Test Analysis: Data analytics has significant applications in education. AFPMS leverages data analysis concepts and educator feedback to provide students and parents with insightful test analyses. This analysis helps them identify areas of student performance that they might have overlooked, often enabling students to pinpoint the root cause of their shortcomings. Consequently, students can shift their focus from a simple resolution of "I will study more next time" to a more targeted approach of "I will work on this specific area to improve my score."

Personalised attention: What once seemed like an impossible dream is now a reality. Thanks to AFPMS, every member of the school community, from subject teachers to class teachers to the principal, is now empowered to provide personalized attention to each student. AFPMS offers a comprehensive suite of tools, including resources for recovering weak topics, targeted practice exercises, and online practice tests, making personalized learning readily accessible.

Test Performance Report: This feature of the Academics Flow & Performance Monitoring System (AFPMS) allows for a deeper understanding of student behavior by analyzing trends over time, rather than relying solely on individual test scores. This approach facilitates data-driven decision-making, empowering schools, parents, and students to identify a student's natural performance trajectory. This, in turn, enables them to make more informed choices, such as subject selection in senior secondary school.

Class wise reports: Academic reporting is central to the Academics Flow & Performance Monitoring System (AFPMS). AFPMS goes beyond individual student scores to provide the school with a comprehensive picture of student performance. This rich data empowers the Principal to analyze overall school trends and make informed decisions to improve academic achievement.

To conclude, AFPMS makes things easier for teachers using technology. It helps them understand their students better and save time. This lets teachers focus on what matters most - helping students learn.
