Baselining in the group level summary screen

Connecting Steps uses a baseline as a starting point for each student within each subject.

The baseline is the date when you start to assess a student; it gives you an approximate idea of where a student’s level is when they start a subject.

It is important to baseline all students so you can see a completed level for each student.
