Overview

This article explains how to create one or more EAPs in KS5 after uploading baseline data for a cohort. 

EAPs define the grade method(s) used in a qualification during each year / term, meaning qualifications using different grading methods will require separate EAPs. For example, if students are taking A Levels, AS Levels and EPQs, then you will require at least 3 separate EAPs.

If you want to copy previously created EAPs from another cohort, see Sisra Analytics: How do I copy an EAP? (Admin).

Prerequisites

You must be an administrator.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create an EAP:

1. Select DATA.
2. Select KS5.
3. Select the Cohort.
4. Select KS4 / EAP.
5. Select EAP / Baselines.
6. Select EAP.

7. Select Create EAP:

   

8. From Create New EAP:

   

   1. Check Create New EAP.
   2. Enter the EAP Name. This should be clear and concise to make it easy to identify when completing the EAP column on the Matching page.
   3. Optionally an EAP Description.

   4. Select the Baseline Type from those uploaded. For example, if you upload set up Targets as baselines, select KS5 Grade Method. (If you are not going to enter expected grades, select any available Baseline Type).

      This cannot be changed when the EAP has been created. 

      If Number Range has been selected as a Baseline Type, enter a Lower Limit and Upper Limit for the range of the EAP pathway. These numbers can be between 0 and 300, for example, to create EAP pathways for 0 to 140, select 0 as the Lower Limit, and 140 as the Upper Limit.

   5. Select the EAP Baseline.  The options available for selection comprise baseline qualifications uploaded in KS4 / EAP > EAP Baselines > Uploads for the selected baseline type. The EAP Baseline determines those grades that will be used to define the starting point to group students onto their pathways, if expected grades are entered.
   6. Select the appropriate KS5 Assessment Method to use for all qualifications assigned to this EAP, which corresponds to the type of grades planned to be uploaded for qualifications using that EAP.
   7. Select Create.

Outcome

The EAP is created.

If you do not want to utilise on track analysis in the reports by entering expected grades (as this is optional), create additional EAPs for your remaining qualifications before uploading your grades.

If you want to enter expected grades to take full advantage of the reports’ analysis, see Sisra Analytics: KS5 - Editing and Defining EAP Pathways (Admin).
