Reveals how the student actually studies: do they memorize on the surface, or do they connect, understand and organize?
The Deep Thinking Inclination Scale
Measures how much the student wants effortful thinking: do they enjoy a hard question or avoid it?
The Digital Focus Habits Scale
Measures the effect of devices on the student's studying: distraction by notifications, multitasking, controlling use, and the effect of late nights on alertness.

Four ways of reasoning — verbal, quantitative, logical and pattern-based — and which of them the student is the most practiced in today.
The Teacher Rating Card
Teacher-only reportYou are the one who fills this in, not the student: a rating of the behavior you observe in your own class — participation, following through on tasks, attention, and dealing with classmates.
Drive and Mindset
What moves the student and how they handle setbacks
The Growth Mindset Scale
Measures the student's belief that intelligence and ability can develop, and their response to failure and to criticism.
The Motivation Compass
Teacher-only reportAnswers the teacher's most important question: why does this student not care? The reasons differ and so do the remedies.
The Academic Resilience Scale

The Emotional and Social Side
Feelings, relationships and belonging — reports for the teacher
The Emotional Intelligence Scale
Teacher-only reportMeasures the student's awareness of their feelings, their ability to manage them, and their ability to understand other people and deal with them.
How Do You Feel About Tests?
Teacher-only reportAn educational screening tool for the level of stress tied to assessment situations — it is not a diagnostic tool.

Before school
Colours, shapes and sequence — drawn, with no reading, for ages 4 to 6
Colours I know

Primary Stage
Simplified tools with three answers and short wording — for the primary grades
Seeds of Interest
Which activities the child is drawn to right now — making, or exploring, or expressing, or helping?
I Can Learn
What the child says to themselves when something is hard for them: "I will try" or "I am not that sort of person"?
My School Habits
Does the child have their things with them, do they know their homework, and can they find their paper when they need it — order is taught, it is not inherited.
Reading and Me
The child's relationship with reading: its enjoyment, their reaching for it themselves, and their talking about what they read.
Thinking Games
Little games that show what the child notices today: do they see the repetition? do they link two words together? do they count and compare?
