The only schoolwide assessment that objectively measures student learning strengths

Cognitive skills are the best predictor of academic outcomes. Learning scientists show cognitive skills explain over 50% of the variability in student achievement, significantly higher than any other known factor. With MindPrint, teachers know why students aren't succeeding and how to support them.

Research

MindPrint is many things but above all else it is a new lens. A new lens on our students. A new lens on our teachers. A new lens on ourselves. You wonder about your kids, and then you get the results. It's like putting on the perfect pair of glasses -- all of a sudden, "Boom it's all clear." That's what it's like with MindPrint. Seriously folks, this is game-changing. Game-changing.

Assessment Facts

Our assessment is online and self-administered for easy individual or group administration at any location, and at any time. With district pricing as low as $10 per student, MindPrint is the affordable, effective and efficient solution you need to improve learner outcomes. The assessment was developed through a National Institute of Health research grant at the University of Pennsylvania's Pereleman School of Medicine in collaboration with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the #2 ranked children's hospital in the US.

MindPrint Profile

Strengths-Based Approach to Learning

At the core of our solution is the MindPrint profile which identifies a student's learning strengths in straight-forward terminology with actionable next steps to support academic and social emotional growth across subjects.

Cognitive Skills

MindPrint provides objective measures across core domains of executive functions, complex reasoning, memory, and speed so teachers know how to support students by subject.

Complex Reasoning

Complex Reasoning is your ability to understand and analyze new information, and solve problems.

Verbal Reasoning

Understanding and applying what you read and hear.

Verbal Reasoning is important for:

Inferential Reasoning

Reading Comprehension

Reading Fluency

Semantic Knowledge

Vocabulary

Writing

Abstract Reasoning

Understanding non-language-based information, including images, numbers, shapes, patterns, and challenging concepts.

Abstract Reasoning is important for:

Physics

Science

Spatial Perception

Visualizing and understanding how objects relate in space.

Spatial Perception is important for:

Art

Design

Engineering

Geometry

Physics

Visual Processing

Memory

Memory is how easily you can store new information and efficiently recall it at a future time.

Verbal Memory

Remembering what you read or hear.

Verbal Memory is important for:

Math Facts

MindPrint's ability to show such high levels of predictability is unprecedented in K-12. Now that we can pinpoint the reasons for students’ challenges in areas of cognition, engagement or social-emotional skills, we have the capability to dramatically improve outcomes for students at all achievement levels.

MindPrint’s cognitive screener was developed by neuroscientists at University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine through a National Institutes of Health grant. This online assessment is so reliable and efficient NASA uses it to test the astronauts during long-duration space flights.

Enhanced MindPrint profiles: Integrating cognitive and self-regulatory strategies to improve mathematical outcomes

This report summarizes the findings from Phase I of MindPrint's NSF SBIR grant. We provide reliability and validity evidence for our social and emotional skills assessment, and we show how the MindPrint Assessment and the social and emotional skills assessment can account for nearly 64% of the variance in MAP Growth scores.

Multimethod support for using the Big Five framework to organize social and emotional skills

This paper, written by Dr. Kate Walton, MindPrint's Director of Research, tackles a challenge to the field of SEL — the overabundance of disparate and empirically unfounded SEL frameworks. Walton and colleagues provide empirical support for using the well-known Big Five personality framework for organizing social and emotional skills.

I don't think I've ever seen a test that kids can take that gives you more information about them. Unlike other tests, MindPrint actually helps you understand the deeper recesses of a child's mind. I haven't seen anything close to it in my 41 years in education.
