“Tassomai plays an important role by being able to get the students to work on their memory and knowledge outside the lesson so that in class we can concentrate on the analytical and skill side of what they need for their exams.”
- John McDonnell, history teacher, Chase High School

Teachers have detailed oversight on their students’ activity and the ability to set homework and manage settings and topics through their Teacher Dashboards.
The Understanding Grid, a self-populating Personal Learning Checklist, uses the same data set as The Tree. At a glance, teachers can spot knowledge gaps at an individual or whole class level, saving valuable teaching time and enabling them to rapidly target interventions.
Parents and guardians get a weekly email report and access to their own Parent Dashboard where they can follow their child’s progress and view their Trees.
The Parent Dashboard shows how many Daily Goals have been completed and in which subjects. Parents can also view learning resources (videos or articles) recommended specifically for their child to aid progress.
