Managing data

We recommend that you keep one folder per student throughout Foundation and Year 1. Keep your student summary sheet(s) at the front of the folder showing dates of tests and an overview of scores, as well as your targets and next steps. Store your score sheets/notes from each assessment behind the student summary sheet for reference. Each score sheet should be named and dated at the time of assessment using the spaces provided.

The LLARS Class Record
Use the LLARS Excel template (Class Record) to record and display your class results. The LLARS Class Record has conditional formatting to clearly indicate when a subtest is mastered.
