What are learning trend reports?
Learning trends allow you to select a time period that you’re interested in, select a child or a group of children, and choose the learning tags that you wish to review for that child/ren over the time period.
This will enable you to:
See how much you’ve been focused on different aspects of the learning sets you use, eg. values, philosophies or curriculum. Perhaps you’ve been focusing a lot in one area, or perhaps there’s been no record of learning in a particular area of interest.
See what learning tags have been used in a particular timeframe and highlight new tags that have recently featured.
See proportionately how many times you've tagged one aspect of learning for one child versus another, or a group of children.
You’ll immediately be able to observe differences/similarities to inform your planning and programme design for individuals or groups at your service.
Use learning trends to inform staff meetings and group planning sessions, or for relieving teachers and part time staff so they can understand more about each child’s learning.
What are teaching trend reports?
Teaching trends allow Storypark Admins to select a time period that they're interested in, select an educator or a group of educators, and choose the learning tags they wish to review for those educators over the time period.
This will enable Admins to:
See how much educators have been focused on different aspects of the learning sets you use, eg. values, philosophies or curriculum. Perhaps you’ve been focusing a lot in one area, or perhaps there’s been no record of learning in a particular area of interest.
See what learning tags have been used in a particular timeframe and highlight new tags that have recently featured.
See proportionately how many times educators have tagged one aspect of learning vs others.
Admins will immediately be able to observe differences/similarities to inform your planning and programme design for individuals or groups at your service.

You’ll immediately be able to observe differences/similarities to inform your planning and programme design for individuals or the group of children at your early learning service.
