Your students are often served by multiple staff, including classroom teachers, arts and athletics instructors, speech or occupational therapists, and advisors. But with everybody’s busy schedules, how can they coordinate on what they observe or recommend for individual students?

Twine’s student panorama gives staff access to each student’s performance across all classes, their schedule, attendance history, teacher observations and feedback, and even examples of student work. With the ability to view all aspects of the student’s journey, issues and trends can be identified and addressed efficiently.

Help your teachers to measure student learning in ways that matter.

Traditional gradebooks are often a good fit for upper grades, so long as you’re working with a system like Twine that can adapt to the grade schemas and weighting you and your staff expect. Tools like online testing are great for both formative and summative assessments.

To get the whole picture, Twine lets your staff also capture ad-hoc evidence of learning, which may be tagged or tied to specific learning outcomes and objectives. Recording evidence is ideal when using a mastery-based approach, or for assembling sample works that can be shared with parents or assembled into online student portfolios.

Sometimes you need to see the big picture of what’s going on at your school. Who are the students who are performing best academically? How many students are struggling? Are teachers doing their weekly lesson planning? Is absenteeism and tardiness a problem?

Twine’s powerful administrator console let’s you answer these questions, with easy-to-use dashboards letting you filter and drill-down into data, from students and student performance to parent lists, class details, and more.

With teachers spending most of their time in the classroom it can be difficult creating time to bring everybody together. Not only does this pose a challenge for school leadership looking to build a cohesive culture, but teachers and new staff can feel isolated or have a hard time connecting with their peers.

Twine brings staff and teachers together. The use of Twine groups for discussion and sharing of school-wide information provides a way for teachers to connect, and to feel they are part of a team. A unified culture and sense of belonging is instrumental in staff retention and performance.

Your parents get just as frustrated with lost and misplaced forms as you do!

Eliminate paper with Twine’s simple online forms, which are great for permission slips, policy acknowledgements, and volunteer sign-ups. And when it is time to arrange for parent-teacher conferences, parents can use Twine to see available slots and schedule online.

When information needs to go out to parents or staff urgently, Twine’s Alerts system is there for you. Administrators may broadcast SMS notifications to all mobile numbers in seconds, letting the community know of weather events or other emergencies in real time.
