Ensuring schools gain the maximum value and educational impact from Classroom Monitor is our number one priority. To support this, the CM Academy provides three distinct training pathways tailored to the user roles and responsibilities to enable effective pupil progress tracking within school: CM Leader, Teacher & Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
Acknowledge your in-depth understanding of Classroom Monitor and its use to support effective assessment by completing your chosen training pathway.
Choose your specific training pathway to understand everything you need to know to succeed in your user role.
Each training pathway is supported with a mixture of documentation, videos or participation in webinars.
Each pathway has four levels to progress you from absolute beginner to Classroom Monitor expert.
Levels 1-2 provide Classroom Monitor users with a basic orientation to get logged in and recording assessments. You will start by creating teaching groups, then move on to recording pupil assessments against objectives and adding evidence of learning. As well as formative assessment, we will show you how to input test scores and other data such as recording statutory assessments.
Advancing to level 3 will support your school to track pupils’ attainment and progress. You’ll see how Classroom Monitor can help you to identify intervention groups and plan their learning pathways more effectively. Level 3 also focuses on how you can share attainment and progress more effectively with pupils, parents and all your key stakeholders’ using Classroom Monitor’s reporting tools.
By reaching level 4, planning becomes more effective using information held in Classroom Monitor. Close the assessment loop and use the intelligence within the system to directly impact what happens in the classroom. School leaders can start to use the wealth of information to set and monitor attainment targets and influence decisions to enhance the effectiveness of the school.
Become an Expert User of Classroom Monitor and support your school to exceptional progress. Demonstrate your understanding of the system, your ability to record and track assessments efficiently, and share your insights with parents. Ultimately, reducing workloads and directly feeding back into teaching and learning.
The academy is useful for self-directed learning. Staff found the modules informative and appreciated being able to select the areas most useful to them as individuals. New users of Classroom Monitor (particularly teaching assistants) benefited from the training as an introduction to the system and they are now growing in confidence in using it on a day to day basis.”
Classroom Monitor helps educators to streamline assessment, raise standards and deliver insightful data reports across your whole curriculum.
Consistent data you can be confident in to drive pupil progress meetings and engage every stakeholder in improving teaching and learning with insightful data reports. Progress that speaks for itself.
Save time and simplify how your secure pupil progress. By using the most flexible formative assessment tool, you can enhance your planning and tracking, with no pointless admin.
Strike the balance between autonomy and flexibility. Classroom Monitor gives you a central solution for sharing and benchmarking KPIs, moderation, best practice and curriculum resources between schools.
After completing the relevant learning pathway, you will then be able to take part in the CM Academy Knowledge Test. The short online test takes the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire with questions relevant to your role. Earning a certificate acknowledges an in-depth understanding of Classroom Monitor and how it can help improve outcomes across your school in practice.
Each training pathway typically takes 4 hours to complete and is delivered in the form of videos, training booklets or through attendance of live webinars. All the materials are self-service, so you can find time around your busy school schedule.
Each training pathway is supported with a mixture of documentation, participation in webinars (or watch recordings) and materials to support staff meetings. Choose your learning style – read, watch or take part.
