What is a Spiky Profile?

Spiky Profiles

Spiky Profiles were designed specifically with special needs children in mind. As I'm sure you are aware many children with special education needs may never be able to complete an entire level and therefore would not show any progression. The pupil may however, be able to complete small portions of many other levels.

This feature adds all the stars across levels and calculates the overall level for the pupil allowing them to show progression without the need to complete whole levels.

If a pupil is on a Spiky Profile a spike symbol will display beside their name on the assessment screen.

On the assessment screen you will also see that the star in the centre remains the same showing the current level's percentage.

As this student has completed assessment across levels.

The percentage displayed on the left hand side and the right hand side will be a total of all assessment completed across various levels.
