Demo data

Drill into the underlying assessment

The gap is not an opinion. It comes from specific confidence, frequency, scenario and applied-judgement items.

Every number on the dashboard traces back to a question you can read.

The items behind Adaptive teaching

Every dashboard number traces back to specific assessment items.

  1. Item 01
    Confidence
    Feeds → Confidence score

    How confident are you in adapting classroom instruction for pupils with different learning needs?

    4.1 / 5 averageMost staff rate themselves confident or very confident.
  2. Item 02
    Frequency
    Feeds → Application score

    How consistently do you use adaptive strategies in your classroom?

    2.6 / 5 averageReported frequency of the practice is markedly lower than stated confidence.
  3. Item 03
    Scenario judgement
    Feeds → Capability score

    A pupil is struggling to engage with a lesson despite appearing to understand the subject matter. What would you be most likely to do first?

    3.0 / 5 averageJudgement responses cluster on plausible but non-adaptive first actions.
  4. Item 04
    Applied practice
    Feeds → Application score

    Which approach would you be most likely to use when a pupil with SEND is repeatedly not completing homework?

    2.7 / 5 averageApplied choices favour support-seeking over in-lesson adaptation.

Response distributions shown are illustrative sample data for demonstration. Scenario items are scored on judgement quality, not on a single “right” answer.

Confidence items are self-reported. Frequency and applied-practice items describe what actually happens in the classroom. The distance between them is the measured gap.
