Adding Additional Assessment Frameworks in TrackAble

TrackAble provides four different ways to add assessment frameworks, depending on whether you want to create your own, use an existing framework, or request support from our team. This guide explains each method clearly so you can choose the option that works best for your school.

1. Add an Assessment Framework Manually

Use this option if you want to build a brand-new framework from scratch.

Steps to Add a New Framework

  1. Go to Admin > Assessment Frameworks > Add Assessment Framework.
  2. Enter the name of your framework.
  3. Select Streaming and choose a Base Framework if needed.
  4. Name each Star level (e.g., Beginning, Working Towards, Secure).
  5. Click Save Assessment Framework.

Changing the Number of Stars

If you want more or fewer than 3 stars:

  • Email support@trackable.org.uk

    Include:

    • Your school name
    • The framework name
    • The number of stars you want
    • The names of each star level

Important:

The number of stars must be finalised before you begin using the framework.

Changes cannot be made once assessment data has been entered.

Setting Up Your Framework After Creation

TrackAble will take you into the six framework tabs. Complete them in order:

1. Levels Tab

  • Add your levels one at a time.

    (See the Levels article for guidance.)

2. Subjects Tab

  • Add each subject individually.

3. Statements Tab

  1. Open the Statements tab.
  2. Select a Subject, and the relevant levels will appear.
  3. Click Add Statement.
  4. Enter your statement and any helpful detail for teachers.
  5. Tick KPI if the statement is a Key Performance Indicator.
  6. Save the statement.

How KPIs Work:

A level will not be marked as complete until all KPI statements for that level are achieved.

Repeat until all statements for each level are added.

4. Attach Framework to Classes

Once your framework is complete, attach it to the classes that will be using it.

2. Add an Existing TrackAble Assessment Framework

TrackAble contains a large library of ready-made frameworks that you can add instantly.

Steps to Add an Existing Framework

  1. Go to Assessment Frameworks.
  2. Click Choose Assessment Framework.
  3. Use the search box to find the framework you need.
  4. (Recommended) Click Download to view an Excel version before adding it.
  5. When you’re happy, click Add to TrackAble.
  6. The framework will appear with all 6 tabs ready to review.

Check Level Order

After downloading, visit the Levels tab and confirm that levels are in the correct order.

(See the Levels article for help.)

Changing the Number of Stars in an Existing Framework

If you need a different number of stars:

  • Email support@trackable.org.uk
  • Do not begin assessment in the framework until the TrackAble Team has updated the star count.

3. Send Us Your Framework in Excel Format

If you prefer to prepare a framework yourself:

  1. Enter your framework into the TrackAble Assessment Framework Template

    (all subjects must be on the same sheet).

  2. Send the completed file to support@trackable.org.uk.

We will check the formatting and upload it for free.

Important Notes

  • Each framework must be in its own file.
  • If the formatting is incorrect, we will return it for correction or fix it for a small charge.
  • Frameworks uploaded through this method are shared with other TrackAble schools unless you request otherwise.

4. Let Us Build the Framework for You

If you'd like us to handle everything:

  1. Send your documents (e.g., criteria, statements, levels) to support@trackable.org.uk.
  2. We will provide a quote before starting.
  3. Once approved, our Data Inputters will create your framework.
  4. We will also give you an estimated completion date.
