Learning Characteristic values include Attitude to Learning, Effort, Resilience, Home Learning, Independent Learning, and Organisation.
These values should be set up for your school at the start of the year, as any changes you make to Learning Characteristics can impact existing Learning Characteristics data.
Add Learning Characteristics to a tracker
School Admin users can set up Learning Characteristics for the school by following the below steps:
Hover over My School in the top menu and select Learning Characteristics from the dropdown.
Choose a value that you would like to enable, then tick either Enable for all Year Groups or the blue button Enable for Specific Year Groups. If enabling for a specific year group, next tick the Enable field box.
Default values will be ticked which includes generic descriptors. Alternatively, deselect this and add you're own name for the characteristic as well as custom descriptors.
Once you've input all values, click Add Selected Learning Characteristics To Trackers and type Continue. The trackers will then begin updating with the new Learning Characteristics columns.
Using Learning Characteristics
Any Learning Characteristics that you add will appear on all trackers in the specified year groups. Columns can be found within the grey section, next to the Summary area.
Once you input a numerical value into any cell within these columns, the corresponding descriptor will populate.
When you export your tracker (Tools > Download as XLS), Learning Characteristics will be included within the download file.
Additionally, you can choose which Learning Characteristics are visible on reports by customising a Report Template. Take a look at the article below to set this up 👇
Refresh Learning Characteristics
