"Every child has a genius and they deserve to thrive."
So says the CEO of Thrively, a startup that aims to help kids "discover their inner genius" with online assessments and other tools.
Now Riverside Insights, a leading developer of research-based assessments, has partnered with Thrively to create a strengths-based profile for students, the companies say in a press release.
"Our research-based assessments empower educators with the knowledge to help each learner, while the Thrively platform helps to unlock the students' potential and increase overall classroom engagement," a Riverside Insights general manager tells eSchool News.
With Thrively's assessments, students work through playlists, courses, projects, and activities designed to help them find purpose, build skills, and create personal impact.
Journal entries follow each activity to capture student learning and growth.
"Thrively was founded on a core philosophy that every child has a genius and they deserve to thrive," says Thrively CEO Girish Venkat.
Students are 30 times more engaged when the school is committed to building on their strengths, he adds.
