Baselining on the Student Level Summary screen

Connecting Steps uses a baseline as a starting point for each student within each subject.

The baseline is the date when you start to assess a student; it gives you an approximate idea of where a student’s level is when they start a subject.

It is important to baseline all students so you can see a completed level for each student.

To baseline a student in a particular subject

1. Navigate to Student Level Summary in Connecting Steps.
2. Select the required group type, group, student and framework from the drop-down lists in the selection panel.

Your selection displays on screen.

3. Click Add Baseline.
4. Select the date type from the drop-down list.

• Framework start date – admission date of the student or the day the student started a particular framework. We highly recommend to always use this option! 
• Current date – today’s date.
• Custom date – enter the date you require by clicking on the Today calendar icon.

5. Click the level you want the baseline to start from. The letter B appears, indicating this is the baseline. The letter C indicates the current level.

Note: On the Student Level Summary grid, the green B indicates the level where the Baseline was set. The red C indicates the Current Level that the student is working on. The green B will always remain constant and the red C will move up over time as the student progresses.
