With our latest update, you now have more flexibility and control in reporting student progress on MYP projects within progress reports. You can now include additional fields related to projects and add comments on individual criteria for personal and community projects. Let’s dive into the details to learn more!

Begin by navigating to the ‘Progress reports’ module under Programme level configurations for MYP in the Admin portal. Once inside this module, go to ‘Progress report templates’, where you can select a new template or access an existing one.

Within a report template, navigate to ‘Layout configuration’ and locate the ‘MYP projects’ section. Click the arrow icon next to ‘MYP projects’ to enter this section.

Inside the ‘MYP projects’ section, you can configure various sub-sections and decide how they should appear in your progress report. Start by setting up the ‘Display settings,’ which allow you to choose whether to display the projects on the progress summary page, as a separate ‘MYP projects’ section, or both.

💡Keep in mind that only the ‘Personal project’ and ‘Community project’ are displayed on the progress summary page.

Under the ‘MYP projects’ section, select which MYP projects to include in your progress report - Personal project, Community project, and Service as action.

💡 Please note that even if a project is enabled in the template, it may not appear for a student if they are not involved in that specific project.

Let’s take a closer look at each project to see how its sections are displayed in the progress report, along with the specific editing options available to teachers for each section.

By default, all sub-sections within each MYP project are enabled in new templates. However, you can easily change this by unchecking the boxes next to any of the sub-sections you don’t wish to include. You can configure the following sections within the Personal project/Community project:

2. Description: You can enable this option to allow teachers a space to add a description of the student’s Personal project/Community project directly in the report.

3. Project details: This section includes the project title, supervisor details, and hours spent by the supervisor. You can select which of these sub-sections to display in the report. All information under ‘Project details’ is pulled directly from the Personal project/Community project module and cannot be edited in the progress report.

💡 Please note that, since the Community project can be done in a group, there is an additional field for ‘Collaborators’ under ‘Project details.’

4. Assessment criteria: You can enable the ‘Assessment criteria’ section to display criterion-based ratings for Personal project/Community project. Teachers can view the ratings they have assigned in the respective modules, and can also edit these ratings directly in the student’s progress report.

Additionally, you can enable or disable comments for each criterion by clicking on the comment icon next to the checkbox. Enabling comments will display the comments added by teachers for each criterion in the project module, while also allowing them to edit these comments directly in the report.

💡Please note that if a teacher updates the ratings/comments in either the progress report or the project module, these changes will automatically sync and reflect in both places. However, any changes made in the project module will appear in the report only when the report is unlocked.

5. Grade summary: You can enable the ‘Grade summary’ option to display the student’s overall progress and final grade, which are automatically filled based on the evaluations done by the teacher in the project module. Teachers can also edit these sections directly in the progress report, with any edits syncing back to the project module. Keep in mind that any changes made in the project module will appear in the report only when the report is unlocked.

💡Please note that the final grade option is available only for the Personal project.

6. Supervisor’s comment: You can enable this option to display the supervisor’s comment from the project in the report. If a teacher adds a comment in the project, it will automatically appear in the report and can be edited directly within the report.

💡Please note that any changes that are made either in the progress report or the project module will automatically sync and reflect in both places. However, any changes made in the project module will appear in the report only when the report is unlocked.

Lastly, if you wish to add a new section use the ‘Add section’ option. Following are the different kinds of sections you can add using this option:

By default, all sections within ‘Service as action’ are enabled in new templates. However, you can easily change this by unchecking the boxes next to any of the sections you don’t wish to include. You can configure the following sections within Service as action:

1. Description: You can enable the ‘Description’ section to allow teachers a space to add a description of the student’s activities directly in the report.

2. Service learning outcomes: You can enable the ‘Service learning outcomes’ section to display the seven learning outcomes defined by the IB, along with each student’s performance on them. Information on these outcomes is pulled directly from the ‘Service as action’ module in Toddle and cannot be edited by teachers within the progress report.

3. Activities: You can enable the ‘Activities’ section to display information about the activities the student is involved in. You can configure this section by choosing which activity details to include, such as title, status, duration, and service approach. This data is pulled from the ‘Service as action’ (SAA) module and will appear in the report in view-only mode.

4. Supervisor’s comment: You can enable the ‘Supervisor’s comment’ section to allow the supervisor to add an overall comment about the student’s involvement in various service activities during the relevant grading period. This comment is then displayed in the student’s report.

💡 Please note that this field is not there in the ‘Service as action’ module and teachers will need to add this comment directly in the report.

Lastly, if you wish to add a new section use the ‘Add section’ option. Following are the different kinds of sections you can add using this option:

Back on the ‘MYP projects’ page, under ‘More settings,’ you also have the option to enable/disable the supervisor comments for MYP projects on the Progress summary page. These comments are editable by teachers, and any changes made here will sync with the MYP project’s page within the report as well as the project modules, reflecting updates in both places.

That's all for now. We will continue to innovate and improve to make your Toddle experience better each day!
