Agile accounting for learning
How do we maintain the integrity of our learning model while still satisfying external stakeholder reporting and accreditations requirements?
Headrush streamlines competency-based assessment, embraces whole person reporting, and leverages rubrics to guide guest feedback.
Standard and Competency-based Assessment
Standards-based Grading and Credits Assignment
Embrace the benefits of better accounting for learning, while still being able to report out in traditional means without the need for two sets of books.
Competency-based Task and Project Assessments
Align and assess interdisciplinary learning targets to tasks and or modules in advance or as they’re learned, all of which rolls up into easy to track summaries.
Evidence Workflows
Embrace iteration in learning while also being able to manage it across many students with Evidence workflow.
Whole person reporting
Evidence Portfolio
Fitting the structure of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, Headrush organizes evidence of learning in ways that showcase completion while also supporting the story of the learner’s journey.
Deconstruct silos that isolate content areas
Individualized learning goals along with differentiated tasks make personalizing student work and assessment manageable.
Transcripts, Reports, and Exports
Traditional transcripts have their place, which Headrush generates, but Headrush also can generate other informative compelling reports to tell the story of learner progression as well as provide CSV, automatically updated Google Sheet, and other data exports to support data liberation.
Rubrics, Peer feedback, and Guest assessors
Add continuity and keep flexibility
Product and performance rubrics are wonderful tools that often end up scattered in Google Drive folders or worse yet, sit idle in a binder. Headrush makes it easy to align and assess these criteria anywhere, which then roll up into useful over-time summaries of student performance.
Engage peers to give feedback to one another
Easily engage peers in giving feedback to other learners, as an optional enhancement to the deep Headrush feedback loop.
Easily get feedback from guest assessors
Easily invite guest assessors to view and provide feedback to student work. No special accounts setup required and optionally include the respective descriptive rubrics you’d like to include to guide assessment.
"Headrush is a game-changer for JAG students, who can use the platform to easily access projects, scholarships, job opportunities, employer connections and more. It’s also a valuable resource for JAG Specialists (teachers), providing a warehouse of ready-made content and a playlist of projects for them to utilize. That way, busy Specialists can spend less time developing content and more time engaging with their students."

"Our program at Avalon wouldn’t be possible without HEADRUSH-- HEADRUSH is responsive, intuitive, and helps students own their learning in real-time. The team at HEADRUSH has been wonderful to work with; Updates keep rolling out as direct responses to feedback from our students, and it has been so empowering for them to know that their voice matters."
Program Coordinator —Avalon
"A highlight for our students has been how HEADRUSH allows them to see where they’re at with their learning targets and graduation requirements, along with the functions where both educators and students can exchange comments, and then the implementation of different types of project proposals. These are the features that really help students understand what they are doing on a big picture level."

"Kudos to the HEADRUSH crew! Every step of the way we communicate back and forth with the HEADRUSH team to see what’s new and how we can best integrate HEADRUSH. Our advisors are all very complimentary about how smoothly the students have transitioned to HEADRUSH."
Advisor & Co-Director —Edvisions Off-Campus
"What HEADRUSH has done for us is created a much more intuitive, user-friendly interface that can upload results and embed student work/research right within the platform... It keeps students on track, organized and simplified things in a sleek way."
