We are pleased to introduce a new section in our progress report dedicated to the core components of the Career-related programme (CP). As a school administrator, you can customize this section to include the details most relevant to your school. Read this article for a detailed walkthrough!

In this article, we’ll cover:

Begin by navigating to the ‘Progress reports’ module under Programme level configurations for Career-related programme (CP) 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 newly added ‘CP core’ section. Click the arrow icon next to ‘CP core’ to enter it.

Inside the ‘CP core’ 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 CP core components on the progress summary page, as a separate CP core section, or both.

💡Please note that by default, ‘CP core’ and all its sub-sections 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.

Under the ‘CP core’ section, select which CP core components to include in your progress report - Service learning, and Reflective project.

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

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

You can configure the following sections within Service learning:

1. Status: The status displayed in the top right corner of the report is directly pulled from the ‘Service learning’ module on Toddle, indicating whether the student’s SL status is in progress or completed. Teachers cannot edit the status directly in the report. If they wish to update the status, they need to make changes in the SL module itself; these changes will be reflected in the progress report until it is locked.

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

3. Basic details: This section includes the adviser’s details, and the total number of hours spent by the student across service actions. You can select which of these sub-sections to display in the report. All information under ‘Basic details’ is pulled directly from the SL module and cannot be edited in the progress report.

4. Service learning outcomes: You can enable the ‘Service learning outcomes’ section to display the five learning outcomes defined by the IB, along with each student’s ‘Achievement status’ for these outcomes. Information on the achievement status is pulled directly from the SL module in Toddle and cannot be edited by teachers within the progress report.

5. Grade Summary: You can enable the ‘Grade summary’ option to display the student’s ‘Overall progress’ which is automatically filled based on the progress marked by the teacher in the SL module. Teachers can also edit this section directly in the progress report, with any edits syncing back to the SL module. Keep in mind that any changes made in the SL module will appear in the report only when the report is unlocked.

6. Service learning experiences: You can enable this option to display information about the service learning experiences the student is involved in. You can configure this section by choosing the details you wish to include, such as experience title, experience status, duration, and type of service learning action. This data is pulled from the SL module and will appear in the report in view-only mode.

7. Adviser’s comment: You can enable the ‘Adviser’s comment’ section to allow the SL adviser to add an overall comment about the student’s involvement in various service learning experiences during the relevant grading period. This comment is then displayed in the student report.

💡 Please note that this field is not there in the SL 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:

You can configure the following sections within Reflective project:

1. Status: The status displayed in the top right corner of the report is directly pulled from the ‘Reflective project’ module on Toddle, indicating whether the student’s essay status is started, approved, or completed. Teachers cannot edit the status directly in the report. If they wish to update the status, they need to make changes in the RP module itself; these changes will be reflected in the progress report until it is locked.

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

3. Essay details: This section includes the research question, issue, ethical dilemma, supervisor details, and supervision hours. You can select which of these sub-sections to display in the report. All information under ‘Essay details’ is pulled directly from the RP module and cannot be edited in the progress report.

4. Assessment criteria: You can enable the ‘Assessment criteria’ section to display criterion-based marks for the reflective project. Teachers can view the marks they have assigned in the RP module, and can also edit these marks 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 RP module, while also allowing them to edit these comments directly in the report.

💡Please note that if a teacher updates the marks/comments in either the progress report or the RP module, these changes will automatically sync and reflect in both places. However, any changes made in the RP 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 ‘Grade’ which is automatically filled based on the assessment done by the teacher in the RP module. Teachers can also edit this section directly in the progress report, with any edits syncing back to the RP module. Keep in mind that any changes made in the RP module will appear in the report only when the report is unlocked.

6. Supervisor’s comment: You can enable this option to display the supervisor’s comment from the Reflective project in the report. If a teacher adds a comment in the RP module, 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 RP module will automatically sync and reflect in both places. However, any changes made in the RP 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:

Back on the ‘CP core’ page, under ‘More settings,’ you also have the option to enable/disable the adviser/supervisor comments for CP core on the Progress summary page. These comments are editable by teachers, and any changes made here will sync with the CP core page within the report as well as the CP core 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!
