43. How to Use Routes for Learning in TrackAble

Routes for Learning (RfL) provides a highly visual and flexible way to assess pupils with profound learning needs. TrackAble fully supports RfL Route Maps, allowing you to create personalised learning pathways, record assessment, and track progress over time. This guide shows you how to activate Routes for Learning, allocate it to classes, and use it to create and assess Route Maps for pupils.

1. Add the Routes for Learning Framework

  1. Go to Admin > Choose Assessment Framework.

  2. Locate Routes for Learning in the list and click Add to TrackAble.

2. Check the Level Order

After adding the framework:

  2. Select Routes for Learning.

  3. Open the Levels tab and ensure the levels are in the correct sequence.

To make RfL available for teachers:

  1. Go to Admin > Lists > Classes.

  2. Edit the relevant class.

  3. Add Routes for Learning to the class’s frameworks or subjects.

Alternatively, you can manually select lozenges to build a completely individualised route.

7. Select Lozenges and Set Target Dates

To create a personalised Route Map:

  • Click the checkbox on each lozenge you wish to include.

  • Selected lozenges change colour for easy identification.

  • Click “No date set” in a lozenge to enter a target date if required.

8. Complete Assessment Within a Lozenges

To record assessment:

  1. Click a star within any selected lozenge.

9. Print or View Previous Route Maps

From the top of the Route Map screen you can:
