Review Service as Action Progress

For SA Coordinators via Year Groups > SA

You can access the SA roster from the SA tile of your MYP Group. The default view shows you the planned SA hours.

You can adjust the information viewed in the SA Roster from the dropdown menu on the upper right. The Outcomes option will allow you to view the number of outcomes that students are targeting across their activities, the count of evidence that they've submitted, and the number of meetings that have been held to date.

Outcomes are listed under the SA Progress section. The Outcomes tab shows that the student’s activities are balanced across all learning outcomes. The yellow bars provide a count of the number of activities that are targeting each particular outcome, whereas the green bars indicate the number of activities completed with evidence. Over the course of the programme, the green bars will gradually overlap the yellow ones as the students complete their activities.
