Learning Ladders

Sara Kronfli, Primary Assessment Coordinator: Learning Ladders has been an invaluable tool for our school. With its comprehensive data tracking and analysis features, Learning Ladders has revolutionised our approach to identifying and addressing gaps in learning. The platform's user-friendly interface allows us to effortlessly monitor student progress, identify areas of improvement, and tailor our teaching strategies accordingly. The detailed reports and visualisations provided by Learning Ladders have empowered our educators to make data-driven decisions, resulting in improved student outcomes.
Abi Brydon, Deputy Headteacher: It is really helpful to track pupil progress.

Requirements

SmartRubric

*The optimal trial is within a single department, ideally English or another subject in the Humanities with a lot of essay or project based student work.*

  • Teachers using SmartRubric need an internet-connected device, ideally a computer or tablet.
  • Teachers should be comfortable logging in to an online system on a computer or tablet, and using a printer.
  • There are a number of rubrics already available in the template library, but a department representative should be prepared to engage with some training on creating and modifying rubrics on SmartRubric.
  • Schools wishing to make use of data-syncing to their MIS will require an Assembly Platform connection (https://assembly.education) set up. There are detailed instructions here: http://smartrubric.blogspot.com/2018/11/how-to-connect-your-mis-to-smartrubric.html
  • Schools that do not wish to use their MIS to sync student and class data to SmartRubric will need to be able to import a .csv file containing a list of students for each class. There are instructions for doing this on the blog: http://smartrubric.blogspot.com/2017/03/set-up-your-account-in-10-minutes.html

Training

SmartRubric

There are a number of set-up guides available on the blog (http://smartrubric.blogspot.com/search/label/Set%20up).

  • Additionally, I will provide a half-day workshop in Zones 1-3 in London in person (reasonable travel costs would apply outside these zones). Alternatively, I will provide training materials and support so that the main contact at the school can provide this workshop instead.
