Learner progress tracking should lead to a useful question

What it means in practice

Progress tracking is not a larger spreadsheet. It is the disciplined connection of evidence to a decision: who may need another explanation, which competency is not secure, what pattern appears across activities and what should be tried next.

A practical structure

• Show evidence, not unexplained scores.
• Separate missing data from weak performance.
• Keep class and curriculum context visible.
• Allow teachers to record what the numbers cannot explain.

How Asmbly approaches it

Asmbly brings classroom records beside the lesson and class they belong to. Signals should help the teacher decide where to look, while avoiding automatic labels that reduce a learner to a risk category.

What to watch carefully

Small data sets, inconsistent marking and absence can produce misleading patterns. A signal should remain provisional and should never replace professional or pastoral judgement.
