Student Effort Tracker 2

Improving measuring and reporting student effort

Effort Tracker is a FREE teacher utility app. It helps teachers: 1) Measure and report student in-class effort, 2) Equalize and energize student participation, and 3) Select students for positive recognition.

In addition, Effort Tracker scores are saved instantly to a database that students and parents can access. Saving effort scores provides daily updates to students and parents about student classroom effort. Parents and students will be able to view data on how the student is performing in four Effort Categories (without you sending an email or making a phone call). Each student has an access code that is used to view their Student Report.

Effort Tracker is a web-based "hybrid" app. You will be downloading a "wrapper" app that is used to connect your browser to your Effort Tracker account. All transmitted data is SSL encrypted. Because Effort Tracker is a hybrid app, expect slight delays when executing some of its features (e.g. saving to database, switching categories, or changing event settings). Normally, these delays are less than five seconds but could be longer depending on your wifi or phone connection.

After you've downloaded the wrapper app, setting up classes and students is easy. Just log in to your account from a laptop or desktop computer. Go to: www.e4effort.com. (Also see our Support documents at e4effort.com)
