How Educator Support & Inclusion works in SkillScorer
Score
Each educator in a room is scored on the Educator Support & Inclusion skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank educators, compare two side by side, or compare your rooms against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Educator Support & Inclusion skills need attention. Reports also follow each room leader's room.
