Human skills growth, measured.
Learners are assessed before and after, results are benchmarked against Hattie’s research, and the programs behind them are independently accredited.
International school group · Composite effect size
0.72
vs. 0.40 benchmark
2,789 matched students from a group of international schools. Students grew nearly twice as much as the 0.40 Hattie benchmark. Same instrument before the first lesson and after the last. Full method available on request.
The evidence
See the results for your segment.
Same four-skill framework. Two different ways of measuring, built for how each learner studies.
How we measure
Every learner, before and after.
School cohorts take the same assessment twice, so growth is recorded, not just claimed.
