Discovery Analysis Report

Learner Profile — Narrative Summary

Spring District Pilot · Jan–Mar 2026 · Facilitator: Sarah Martinez

1. Cohort Overview

This summary reflects assessment data from 5 active participants in the Spring District Pilot cohort, covering the Learner Profile collection (11 constructs across 4 domains). Overall completion rate is 56%, with Maria Lopez achieving full completion (11 of 11) and three participants exceeding 60%.

2. Headline Findings

Credential Frameworks: highest consensus

4 of 5 active participants rated Arrived.

Social-Emotional: widest scoring spread

Ratings range from Emerging to On the Way, suggesting inconsistent implementation.

Formative Assessment: strongest with no Emerging ratings

All raters scored On the Way or Arrived.

3. Priority Shifts

4. Recommended Next Steps

Facilitator-editable

1. Develop a district-wide Communication & Collaboration framework. Lowest average rating with highest interest.

2. Integrate SEL into core instruction. Currently separate; participants flagged as high-priority.

3. Pilot mastery-based transcripts. Existing Credential Frameworks strength provides a foundation.

Findings by Domain

Credentialing — Strongest (avg 2.4)

Credential Frameworks rated Arrived by all raters. Transcript Innovation lags behind.

Student Competencies — Mixed (avg 2.1)

Cognitive Skills is a clear strength. Social-Emotional and Communication lag significantly.

Assessment — Weakest (avg 1.8)

Formative is solid, but Performance-Based and Portfolio remain underdeveloped.

Recommendations

1

Establish district-wide collaboration standards

Highest-urgency, highest-leverage construct.

2

Integrate SEL into academic instruction

Move beyond advisory model; scoring divergence indicates inconsistent implementation.

3

Accelerate mastery transcript pilot

Credential Frameworks strength provides the foundation.
