Fast Tomato - Advanced Features
To make the most of these features, an adviser (or administrator) will need
to do a little preparation to customise the organisation's Fast Tomato
account. This is done online through a special "admin" login that is provided, at
no extra cost, when the organisation subscribes to Fast Tomato.
Use the links below to find out more about each feature of Fast Tomato.
Monitoring
students - The Adviser Section
Advisers (PAs or teachers) can monitor their students' use of Fast Tomato to
see which questionnaires have been completed/modified and examine the
questionnaire profiles and career, course and place investigations, by using the
Adviser Section of the site.
Each adviser can have their own Fast Tomato Adviser login, which gives them
access to either the whole organisation or specific forms/groups (e.g. for form
tutors).
Have a look at an example school by logging onto the site using:

Options
Choices for Key Stages 4 & 5
Two important decision points for students are choosing their Key Stage 4
options and deciding what to do after Year 11.
Once an organisation's account is customised, students can choose their options
choices from those available at their current school/college. The options
choices are given a rating for each student based on their responses to the
questionnaires. This allows the student to make an informed decision about what
they intend to study.
Through the adviser section, an adviser can print off summaries of students'
options choices, or import them into the organisation's current administration
system.

Student
Learning Plans
Learning Plans are used to establish broad learning and career goals for the
whole 14-19 phase, including identifying wider development activities that the
young person might participate in. This provides the basis for continued
monitoring and review of progress during the 14-19 phase.
Fast Tomato's Learning Plan section contains:
-
My Learning Plan
This section can form the basis of an annual or periodic learning plan for
review with a tutor. It includes a Personal Statement, a record of achievements
and expectations and a summary of Fast Tomato Personal List items (careers,
courses and places the student is interested in). It also ties in to the target
setting tool described below.
-
My Targets
This section provides structured approach to target setting and allows for the
ongoing review of these targets. Students give general details on what they
want to achieve and then break this target into several action points. They can
set dates for start, completion and review for all targets and action points.
Students can later review their target by reflecting on what has been achieved
and what further steps (if any) are required. A summary report can be generated
and tailored to display specific targets (e.g. to produce a Work Experience
report).
