On this page, you will find the answers to some frequently asked questions from users of the Classroom Monitor Early Years Curriculum. Detailed help is available in the EYFS Framework page.
Can I Complete My EYFS Profile Using Classroom Monitor?
Yes. There is a separate EYFS profile markbook that you will find in the 'ability' dropdown menu when loading the EYFS curriculum. This information can then be exported as a CTF for submission to your Local Authority.
NB It must be completed in the 'old' Class Markbook (via Assessment Markbooks on the homepage). The EYFS profile is not currently supported in the new markbook.
Why Do The ELGs Appear In Two Places In Classroom Monitor?
The purpose of the EYFS Profile markbook is to collect data to be exported as a CTF for submission to the Local Authority- data does not transfer through to the attainment and progress area from here and cannot be analysed.
NB It is a good idea to record your assessment judgements in the ELG ability level first then import them into the EYFS profile.
How Do I import Assessments From The ELG Ability Level Into The EYFS Profile?
NB This feature is not available in the new markbook but can still be accessed via the old markbook
How Do I Record That a Pupil Is 'Exceeding' An ELG?
When looking at the EYFS Profile markbook, you can record an exceeding by clicking on the relevant hexagon 3 times.
How Is The GLD Judgement Calculated? Why Are Some Pupils Still Showing As 'Below GLD' When I Have Completed All Of My Assessments?
To calculate whether a pupil is at GLD, Classroom Monitor checks whether each pupil is at ELG expected or exceeding in all of the 12 prime areas. The 12 prime areas are: Making Relationships, Self-Confidence and Self-Awareness, Managing Feelings and Behaviour, Listening and Attention, Understanding, Speaking, Moving and Handling, Health and Self-Care, Reading, Writing, Numbers and Shape Space and Measure.

I'm In The Markbooks And All Of My Assessments Have Gone! HELP!
Assessment wont have disappeared, so please don't worry. This is likely to be because pupils were given a temporary UPN number when they joined your Nursery / Reception class. When their NEW UPNs were assigned to them, they will appear to Classroom Monitor as new pupils. This will create a 'Duplicated Account' If you click on the 'Contact Us' link and say you believe you have duplicated pupil accounts; including the names of the pupil/s are affected along with their DOB, we will be able to merge the cases for you, so you can see the previous assessment data.
