iStartSmart automatically gathers data as children play research- based activities, allowing educators and parents to monitor each child’s progress without requiring manual data input or subjective evaluation. Children select their photo to login to educational games with Hatch’s patent-pending technology. The system guides them through activities, using five scaffolded levels to increase or decrease difficulty from emerging to developed as they master each level. Teachers can use date to refocus activities for each child and group children for additional instruction based on skill level.
Administrators access overview reports of all classrooms anytime, anywhere with an Internet connection. iStartSmart overview reports show how classrooms, schools and districts are performaing in essential skills for success in school and beyond. The system automatically provides quarterly snapshots of performance so administrators can view trends over time. Never before have administrators had access to real-time progress data for early learning classrooms. With access to automatically collected, real-time progress data for early learning classrooms, you can pair objective data with subjective teacher-guided assessments. > Schedule a demo
Teachers across the U.S. are using iStartSmart data to impact classroom instruction and to aid in intervention for at-risk students. Reports are easy to use and show details of how children are developing in real time. The data informs teachers on areas where children exceed or need more work so they can provide individualized attention or pair children for group instruction and peer tutoring. Data includes how much time each child has been working in each skill development area and automatically takes snapshots of performance each quarter so teachers can review progress over time. > See what other teachers are saying about Hatch Technology
