by Graeme Scott – Executive Chairperson at MARIO Framework

Dear all,We will soon have 50 schools using our MARIO for Me software for middle and high schools.  The results from our schools have been really impressive and the data produced, fascinating.  We have had a number of schools recording over 1,000 one-to-one learning conversations with students, and one teacher even recording over 1,000 one-to-one conversations on her own!  Each of these conversations is an insight into the learning and wellbeing of a young person and an opportunity to connect with them on a deeper level.  I’m excited to share that our Elementary/Primary School version is nearing the final stages of testing.  As a former elementary teacher, I have taken a particular interest in this one.  Sincere thanks to those schools who have helped with the testing and their wonderful students who have given us really important (and often really amusing) feedback.  We currently have ten eager schools waiting patiently to trial this with their young students and we’re excited to hear their feedback.

As I write this, we have just concluded our 2023 Q1 Board meeting.  The first part of the meeting was an inclusive affair, with almost 30 on the call from 20 different countries, including a number of experienced educators now supporting our work through introductions to new schools and specialist advice.  It really does feel like a global effort now.  We are always looking for new schools to join our growing MARIO family.  If you are interested in monitoring and improving student learning and wellbeing through innovative data analytics and effective interventions, why not get in touch.

Very best wishes,

Graeme
