Documenting Learning with Habits of Mind is an online assessment tool that allows programs and teachers to rate collected information on children’s expression and development of Habits of Mind and to enter those ratings into an online system. The online system compiles and analyzes Habit and Trait ratings, allowing programs to report with confidence the growth and development of children in the program. The system also produces individual compilations that can be shared with families to support conferences or home visits. Class or program summaries can be generated for funding agencies as documentation of program effectiveness.

TPP began the development of the Documenting Learning with Habits of Mind online assessment tool for preschool and kindergarten teachers in 2015. In 2016 the tool was piloted by TPP’s teaching preschools and is now available for use at TPP’s demonstration preschool sites and other early learning schools around Oregon.  Documenting Learning with Habits of Mind is accepted for use by the State of Oregon’s Preschool Promise Program as an assessment tool to document children’s growth in the early years and is aligned with Oregon’s Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines.
