Student progress tracking:
Being able to quickly see each student’s strengths and weaknesses makes it easier to create and execute a successful classroom strategy. With the implementation of the student progress tracking boards, administrators and staff can easily highlight specific areas of focus that may require further development among students. Some educators have even gone as far as splitting the board into separate columns so the board displays in a similar manner as a bar graph, (They tell us being able to identify student needs at a glance is invaluable). This unique way of utilizing the student progress tracker is a wonderful way to demonstrate the effectiveness of specific education programs in the district.
Master classroom, course and teacher schedules:
Magnetic master-class schedule boards allow school administration and guidance personnel to organize courses to be offered, the number of course sections for each course, and teacher and room assignments on a per-semester basis. Another benefit of the Master Class schedule is providing accountability during emergency situations by highlighting specific room assignments throughout the duration of a school day. School administrators tell us that having this purpose-built teacher and class-scheduling system set up with columns and rows serves as the easiest way to construct and display the master class schedule. Plus, our classroom schedules can be formatted to fit an entire years worth of data on a single dry erase surface!
Teacher observations and accountability:
With just a glace at the board, administrators can keep track of their teacher observation efforts. This serves as a great way to track formal and drop-in observations. Another great utilization for this board is that it allows for administrators to correlate teaching methods alongside standardized testing scores, providing feedback that improves teacher performance. This feedback often allows administrators to determine whether or not a school should provide more resources to a particular teacher and their students.
School activity calendar:
With over 15 unique variations of calendars to choose from, Magnatag helps make communicating school activities simple. Administrators commonly use this product in an effort to ensure that both visitors and staff are up-to-date on the latest school functions. Information displayed on the board includes facility usage, for both school and community events citywide. With a 365-day calendar readily available, student activity planning has never been more streamlined.
Athletic schedules:
Many athletic departments enjoy using our product as it allows for an easy-to-maintain schedule, so you always know which athletic facilities are in use during any moment of the day. Suddenly have to reschedule a practice due to weather restraints? No problem. Your athletic schedule chart will keep you informed as to when the next athletic facility will be available.
Bus and staffing schedules:
These boards help transportation specialists track the deployment of each bus in the department’s roster. These dry erase boards are used to show standard routes, as well as aid in the scheduling of special afterschool events. Paired with the utilization of Magnatag’s reusable magnetic bus tracers, bus and staffing schedules are quickly becoming a staple for Magnatag’s academic-oriented products.
