What is holistic assessment?

“We have constantly measured the wrong things against a different paradigm — leading inevitably to an assessment of failure.”

– Canadian Council on Learning (CCL)

Research done by the CCL and Sprig’s Founder and CEO Jarrett Laughlin has laid the foundation for Sprig’s platform and holistic approach to assessment.

Though rooted in Indigenous education, Sprig Learning’s holistic learning approach helps identify every student’s learning strengths, and encourages teachers to help students use their strengths to address their challenges.

Most learning and assessment tools fail to recognize individual learning styles, overlooking the important learning that occurs in the home, the community, and outdoors. Sprig Learning’s holistic approach enables schools, organizations or governments to personalize their assessment to reflect the local contexts and cultures of the classroom.
