Marking, results, and performance on Kurasa are designed to help teachers and school leaders move from assessment data to meaningful insight. This process ensures that learner work is not only marked, but also translated into results that can be understood, reviewed, and acted upon.
On Kurasa, these three elements are connected and work together as one continuous workflow.
Marking #
Marking is the first step. It involves recording learner performance based on assessment criteria. This may include assigning scores, applying performance levels, or using rubrics to assess skills and competencies. Accurate marking ensures that learner achievement is captured clearly and consistently.
Results #
Results are the organized output of marking. Once marks are recorded, Kurasa structures them into results that can be viewed by learner, class, subject, or assessment. Results provide a clear snapshot of achievement at specific points in time, such as during formative checks or at the end of a term.
Performance #
Performance looks beyond individual results to identify patterns and trends. By analyzing results over time, Kurasa helps teachers and administrators understand:
- How learners are progressing
- How classes are performing across subjects
- Where support or intervention may be needed
Performance insights support informed decision-making and continuous improvement.
How these work together on Kurasa #
On Kurasa, marking feeds directly into results, and results contribute to performance insights. This connected approach reduces duplication, improves accuracy, and ensures that data recorded by teachers can be used confidently for reporting and follow-up.
Why this matters #
Understanding how marking, results, and performance work together helps schools:
- Maintain accurate academic records
- Track learner progress over time
- Use data to support teaching and learning
- Generate reliable reports when needed
This foundation supports all reporting and performance-related features on the platform.
