The KS3 D&T Teacher Dashboard | Progress, Projects & Workshop Skills Tracker

Stop keeping your entire D&T department in your head.

Tracking projects. Remembering who is below target. Workshop competencies. Assessment areas. Students who need to catch up. What you actually need to teach next...

The KS3 D&T Teacher Dashboard brings it all together in one simple Excel workbook.

Designed specifically for KS3 Design & Technology teachers, it helps you record the information you already need — then turns it into a useful class overview automatically.

Select a class from your dashboard and quickly see who needs support, how the class is progressing, which assessment areas need attention and where your workshop competency gaps are.

No complicated spreadsheet knowledge needed.

Simply enter information into the clearly marked pink cells and let the dashboard do the rest. ♡

Workshop competency tracking

D&T isn't just about assessment data.

Record student competency across your workshop equipment using four simple stages:

Not Introduced → Demonstrated → Supervised Use → Competent

The equipment list can be customised to suit your own department.

Easy to set up

You'll also receive a clear visual Getting Started guide showing you exactly how to:

Set up classes → Add students → Record project assessment → Track workshop skills → Use your dashboard

No macros. No add-ins. No complicated setup.
