Once you've created a tick list, you can track each child's progress through the checklist. Evidence is collected in two ways: automatically by the AI when it finds a match in your observations, and manually when you assess a child yourself.
This article explains the skill levels, how to add manual assessments, and how to view a child's full evidence history.
Understanding skill levels
Colour | Level | Meaning |
Green | Secure | The child demonstrates this skill independently |
Orange | Developing | The child demonstrates this skill with support |
Red | Emerging | The child can not yet demonstrate this skill |
Grey | Not Yet Observed | No evidence has been collected yet |
The summary bar at the top shows how many children have evidence so far (e.g. "3 of 17 children have evidence") along with a progress bar.
Manually assess a child
On an active tick list, tap the skill level badge next to any child's name. This opens the inline assessment picker.
Tap Secure (green), Developing (orange), or Emerging (red) to record your assessment. The picker closes automatically and the child's badge updates.
Note: You can change a child's assessment at any time by tapping their badge again and selecting a different level. Each assessment is saved as a separate evidence entry, so you'll have a full history of their progress.
View a child's evidence history
Tap a child's name in the checklist to see all the evidence collected for them on this tick list.
Each evidence entry shows:
Date and time: the evidence was recorded
Source badge: "Manual" (blue) if you assessed them yourself, or an observation summary if the AI found a match
Skill level badge: (green, orange, or red)
Who assessed: your name for manual entries
You can also add a quick manual assessment from this screen by tapping the blue Add Assessment button at the bottom.
How the AI finds evidence from your observations
When you record observations as normal, the AI automatically checks whether they contain evidence related to any of your active tick lists. If it finds a match, the evidence appears on the child's evidence page - linked directly to the original observation.
AI-detected evidence shows:
The child's name and a summary of the observation
The learning area the observation was tagged with (e.g. Fine Motor Skills)
The teacher who recorded the observation and the date
A More Details link to view the full observation
You don't need to tag observations to a tick list yourself — the AI handles this in the background whenever a tick list is active.
Automatic vs manual evidence at a glance
| Automatic (AI) | Manual |
How it's created | AI scans each observation as it's made | You tap the relevant skill level button in the tick list |
What is shows | The observation that was linked to the tick list item | Who create the manual evidence + the skill level |
Tip: Manual assessments are useful for quick spot-checks when you observe something in the moment but don't have time to record a full observation.
