Measure Human Skills Through Performance.

Grow Them Through Experience.

The HUB measures human skills by comparing students' application of skills against our Human Skills Framework, then gives teachers the lessons and play that grow the human skills students need to thrive. One system for the evidence and the response.

Solution overview

The HUB: A Human Skills Platform

Districts measure human skills as often as they need to, and every measure reports the same skills against the same framework. What the data reveals points to the lessons and play that build those skills, and the reporting speaks to every level of your district.

Assessment only matters if it changes what happens next.

  1. Measure

    HUB Assess captures what students do during a performance task, then what they say about how they applied their skills. Pulse Checks provide ongoing progress monitoring of the skills.

  2. Report

    HUB Insights reports against the competencies and frameworks your district already uses.

  3. Improve

    HUB Action turns insight into instruction with targeted lessons and play in the Arcade.

HUB Assess · Measure

Human Skills Measured Where They Show Up

In HUB Assess, students work through a performance task in small groups, then reflect on how they applied their skills while the experience is still fresh. Teachers rate the same skills using the framework's shared definitions, so every skill carries a student view and an educator view.

Pulse Checks are brief formative checks on the same skills, used for progress monitoring to keep a read on how skills are growing.

  • Evidence from what students do. Skills are captured the moment students are using them.
  • A self-report you can trust. Students report on a skill they used minutes earlier.
  • Teacher observation made comparable. Professional judgment against shared definitions across classrooms.
  • Short enough to repeat. Each Pulse Check fits inside a lesson, so measuring often stays practical.
  • Growth you can follow. The same skills are measured every time, so movement can show up within weeks.

observable strands

Every task, reflection, rating, and report draws from one structure: 4 categories, 12 human skills, 48 observable strands, each defined clearly enough to see, measure, and teach.

The skills crosswalk to your Portrait of a Learner, SEL competencies, and College and Career indicators. One shared structure connects measurement, reporting, and instruction across your entire district.

Two Additions to the HUB

One measures human skills with more precision. The other reports them, student by student.

HUB Benchmark

HUB Benchmark is a comprehensive human skills assessment, with AI analysis that scores what students said as a third perspective and provides a scale score for every human skill.

Explore HUB Benchmark HUB Student Profiles

HUB Student Profiles reports human skills for each individual student, so teachers see what a student does well, where they are ready to grow, and can assign the lessons that build it.

Data a Teacher Can Do Something With

A third-grade team opens collaboration and sees two numbers. Thirty percent of students are mostly or fully demonstrating the skill. Across the class, five of the nine observable behaviors are being applied. The first number says where the class stands. The second says what students already have to build on and what to teach next.

Students Demonstrating the Skill

The share of students mostly or fully demonstrating each skill, reported at class, school, and district level, monitored from the first check.

Observables Students Are Showing

The specific behaviors underneath each skill, and how many of them students are applying. This is the number teachers respond to.

  • Reported in your language. Results map to your Portrait of a Learner, your SEL competencies, and your College and Career Readiness indicators.
  • Set up before you start. Reporting is mapped to your district's priorities before the first check goes out.
  • Every audience, one source. The same data reports for leadership, school teams, and classrooms.
  • Pointed at what comes next. The data connects to the HUB Action lessons and Arcade that build the missing skills.

HUB Action · Improve

Every Lesson Pairs Learning With Doing

Every HUB Action lesson works in two steps. Students learn a skill through a short, scripted lesson built for intentional human skill building, then apply it in a play experience from Arcade. Human skills grow through application, so the lesson and the play work as one.

HUB Action works two ways. Districts use lessons responsively, based on what the data reveals, or use them throughout the year to build human skills alongside the instruction already happening.

  • Fifteen-minute lessons. Built to fit inside core instruction or alongside it.
    • Aligned to ELA benchmarks and CASEL competencies. Math and science coming soon.
    • Ten-plus hours per grade band with an expanding library.
    • Ready to teach. Every lesson is scripted and complete, so there is no prep and no new training.
  • A digital library of games students play through together to practice and build skills. All powered by the Arcade.
    • Ten-plus hours per grade band with an expanding library.

Learn It. Play It. Prove It.

Lessons begin with inquiry and spark curiosity about a skill before shifting to real-world application, with evidence along the way.

Spark Curiosity, Then Build the Skill

Each lesson opens by sparking curiosity about one human skill, naming what it looks like and why it matters, so students recognize it before they use it. Focused, scripted instruction then builds the skill inside the ELA or social-emotional learning the class is already doing, so any teacher can lead it with confidence.

The Skill Gets Used

Students put the skill to work in a hands-on experience from Arcade: a game, a challenge, or an open-ended problem a group has to solve together. Each experience flexes to the skill and the setting, whether it's whole-class, small-group, or individual play.

Reflect, Then Take the Skill Into the World

After the experience, students reflect on how they used the skill and where it fits in their own lives, building the habit of thinking about their own thinking. A Side Quest gives students a way to apply the skill in daily life, beyond the classroom.

A Quick Check Confirms the Growth

A Pulse Check closes each lesson, a fast read on whether the skill is growing. It gives teachers evidence of real skill-building through a short formative check, captured right inside the lesson.

Evidence for Accountability Reporting

Districts that invest in SEL, Portrait of a Learner, and human skills priorities get asked to show it's working. The HUB provides performance-based evidence of skill growth aligned to accountability reporting.

Class-Wide Support Inside MTSS

Districts screen for reading and math but have had no equivalent for human skills. The HUB shows teachers which skills a class is strong in and which need attention, then points to the lessons that build them. Pulse Checks track whether the support is working.

Inside the School Day

A third-grade teacher teaches a fifteen-minute curiosity lesson before a read-aloud, so comprehension goes deeper. A fifth-grade teacher builds perseverance before a hard problem set, so students stay with the difficulty. The skills students bring to academic work change what they get out of it.

In Expanded Learning

Afterschool and summer programs use the HUB to show measurable growth in human skills. Staff facilitate without specialized training, and the reports speak the language district partners expect.
