What schools say about Dr Daffern’s assessment & teaching resources

A small sample of unsolicited quotes from school educators in 2024:

We looked at the results this morning and I just needed to let you know that the teacher dashboard is absolutely incredible and worth every penny! Thank you for developing such a useful tool.

I have been itching to share with you our spelling data for 2024 NAPLAN reflective of our work across 2022 and 2023 in particular:
– NAPLAN Spelling Year 5 2024: 12% increase of students achieving top 2 bands from 2023
– NAPLAN Spelling Year 3 2024: 30% increase of students achieving top 2 bands from 2023

I just hope our data helps makes you feel amazing about your PhD … I hope that you get to see how much of a difference you’re making to these young minds as well as how you are reinspiring our teachers to be empowered to teach spelling with efficacy and deep content knowledge!

You’ve been a huge help and all the teachers at XXX (school) are really pleased with the assessment & Dashboard and the level of detail it provides.

We’ve started looking at our data and their dashboards and our teachers are pumped!!

We are developing some really good practices thanks to your resources and the research behind them.

I love how the dashboard automatically puts the students in groups with a focus.

Our teachers are loving the Dashboard and finding it very user friendly and supportive.

The data is so interesting!! It gives us a really good insight into student spelling strategies and where their strengths and areas of development are.

The response from teachers has been very favourable and they are using the Dashboard resources in a variety of ways in response to their data.
