For the whole school team
What Smart Symbols means for your school
School leaders, support coordinators, ICT coordinators and preschool teachers all work from the same data. That makes working together a lot easier.
For school leaders
Goal-oriented policy
As administrator, set school-wide assessment levels and decide on the annual goals for each class, so every class works from the same agreements.
For support coordinators
Support and pupil tracking
Link an external pupil file to a child via the cloud. That file grows with the child for years, from class to class.
