This document is prepared for institutions as a resource to assist their success coaches/advisors/faculty in prompting students to reflect on their scores on the SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator.
The SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator is an assessment that students often take during enrollment, an orientation course or at some other point typically early in the student’s learning experience at the school. It is an assessment that measures levels of non-cognitive indicators of student success. It is used to help students go into the learning experience with their “eyes wide open” about their traits, attributes, availability and skills. There are seven sections to the assessment. Schools may provide all seven sections to their students or opt-out of some sections if they choose. The seven sections are Life Factors, Individual Attributes, Reading Rate & Recall, Technical Competency, Technical Knowledge, Keyboarding and Learning Styles.
Upon completion of the assessment students are provided with a detailed score report. While every score report is unique to the student, many students do not take the time to read and reflect on their scores. This document is a useful tool that advisors and others can use as a worksheet with students to prompt them to reflect on their scores. This can be integrated into an orientation course as an activity. This worksheet prompts students to write down their scores, identify relevant resources for support that they plan to utilize, and reflect on their attributes that they were already aware of and those that may be new to them.
