EdPotential Teacher's Guide (AU)

Welcome to EdPotential!

EdPotential brings all your student data onto one platform enabling you to make data informed decisions on when to differentiate student learning. 

For each student you can easily determine their strengths, the progress they’ve made and areas of need. 

For each class you are able to analyse where your students are at, whether they are making the expected level of progress and where differentiation in learning is needed.

Using EdPotential you can triangulate data across different levels and track year on year progress.

With data being uploaded to EdPotential as soon as it becomes available, you will always have an up-to-date record of your students’ results.
