B Squared Unlocked Episode 1: Starting the year right with Connecting Steps

What is BSquared Unlocked?

B Squared Unlocked is our podcast for schools using BSquared’s assessment tools. Each episode, Dale and Jon (sometimes joined by a guest) unpack a topic around assessment and progress for pupils with SEND – with one goal: better outcomes for every learner.

Episode 1

In our very first episode, Dale and Jon explain why we’ve set up this podcast for B Squared customers, before getting straight into the practical stuff schools need to get Connecting Steps ready for the year ahead.

• Why we’ve launched the B Squared Unlocked podcast to help customers get the most out of everything B Squared has to offer.
• How to baseline students correctly – and the new guided “Set Starting Point” screen coming soon.
• Setting up classes and groups for the new school year, and why “missing” pupils usually aren’t actually missing.
• Managing students who join or leave your school – and why you should never delete a leaver.
• Managing users: adding new starters, removing leavers, and what’s coming to simplify the process with Single Sign On and Multi Factor Authentication.
• What to do if you’ve forgotten your password after the summer break.
