110. What happens if I add statements to a framework that I am already using?

In TrackAble, statements can be added to any assessment framework at any time. However, we strongly recommend making changes before a framework is used for assessment. If a framework is already in use, adding statements can affect baselines and progress data. This article explains what you need to know and how to manage the impact safely.

Important Recommendation

🚨 Best practice:
Always finalise assessment frameworks before baselining pupils or entering assessment data.

If changes are made after a framework is in use, data issues may occur.

How Adding Statements Affects Baselines

What Happens?

If a pupil has been baselined at a specific level (for example, P4) and you then add new statements into that same level:

  • The new statements will be incomplete

  • The level will no longer be fully achieved

  • The pupil’s baseline will be lost

How to Fix a Lost Baseline

If this happens:

  1. Clear the affected level for the pupil

  2. Re-baseline the pupil at the correct level

This ensures the baseline accurately reflects the updated framework.

How Adding Statements Affects Assessment Progress

What Happens?

If a pupil is currently working at a level (for example, P4 + 5%) and you add statements to lower levels:

  • The pupil may appear to regress

  • This is because they may no longer meet the required 80% completion of the lower level

This is a data effect, not a reflection of real pupil regression.

Checking Which Pupils Are Affected

If you decide to add statements to a framework that already has:

  • Baselines, and/or

  • Assessment data

You should run a report to identify any impact.

How to Check:

  1. Go to the Assessment screen

  2. Open Reports

  3. Run the Levels Report

  4. Review which pupils have been affected by the framework changes

This allows you to identify pupils who may need:

  • Re-baselining

  • Data review or correction

Key Things to Remember

  • Adding statements to a live framework can affect baselines and progress

  • Lost baselines must be cleared and re-set

  • Apparent regression may be caused by new lower-level statements

  • Always review data using the Levels Report after making changes
