The Student Motivation Snapshot is a short, practical tool for seeing how a student feels about school and for noticing changes over time.
How educators use it
- Give it at the start of a 6-, 9-, or 21-week cycle.
- Repeat it at the end to see what shifted.
- Use the results to start a conversation, not to label a student.
What it is not
It is a conversation starter. It is not a validated diagnostic instrument and should not be used to make placement, disciplinary, or mental-health decisions.
The Snapshot is free and part of the Educator Starter Kit.
