84. What is the Curriculum Learning Matrix and how do I use it?

The Curriculum Learning Matrix (CLM) is a planning and focus tool in TrackAble that helps teachers target specific learning areas for individual pupils. A CLM allows teachers to select uncompleted assessment statements and present them in a clear chart, supporting personalised planning and next steps.

Enabling the CLM Feature

The CLM feature can be enabled or disabled for your school.

  • If you cannot see CLM in your TrackAble menu, contact:
    support@trackable.org.uk

  • Teachers must be given access via User Group permissions
    (see the TrackAble Admin Manual for guidance)

How CLMs Work

  • CLMs are created by administrators in Admin

  • Teachers can then allocate CLMs to pupils

  • Each CLM can include between 1 and 7 focus areas

  • Each focus area can draw statements from multiple subjects within an assessment framework
