Adapt the grid to a diagnostic assessment

For reading, try criteria such as “find an explicit fact” and “rephrase an instruction”. For grammar, try “identify the verb in a sentence”; for conjugation, “use the present tense correctly”. These are editable examples, not a prescribed grade curriculum.

After entry, the list of pupils marked “Not yet” on a skill can help you plan a practice group. “Not assessed” stays separate: it means an observation remains, not a confirmed need.

Moving from a Word or Excel table

Paste a pupil or skills list, or preview a CSV before importing, then print the new grid as a PDF. Existing marks in Word or Excel documents are not read automatically; enter or check observations in the grid.

Use this student skills tracker to record one observation per pupil and skill. Start with the example grid, then edit names and skills or add them directly at the edge of the table. Each cell is Yes (achieved), Not yet (to revisit), or Not assessed.

The class assessment checklist is free to use without an account. Guest work is saved on this device. Download the completed grid or detailed report as a PDF, or export results as CSV.

Frequently asked questions

Is the skills tracker free?
Yes. You can start a grid without an account or paid subscription.
What does “Not assessed” mean?
It is the initial or cleared state of a cell. It does not mean the pupil failed the skill.
Can I open my grid on another device?
Guest work stays on this device. A free account lets you explicitly save your grid to the account and reopen it on another device.
Can this replace a Word or Excel table?
You can paste lists or preview a CSV, then create an editable grid and print it as a PDF. The tool does not automatically read existing observations from Word or Excel files.
