An understanding of cognitive skills has the potential to inform nearly every aspect of teaching and learning. Used appropriately, cognitive data can impact everything from helping students understand college and career abilities to lesson plan creation and classroom management for teachers. We envision cognitive information becoming a lynchpin to create wholistic, strength-based learning.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

MindPrint Learning was created because every student deserves to have their strengths accurately understood. Relying on academic or social-emotional data alone misses the importance of understanding cognitive strengths. Folding these cognitive strengths into classroom data at scale has the power to create individualized, equitable and strength-based instruction focused on the whole student.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

MindPrint offers a one hour online self-administered, self-paced cognitive assessment for youth ages 8 and older. Developed at the University of Pennsylvania's Brain Behavior Lab and supported by research funded by four National Science Foundation SBIR grants, MindPrint is a scientifically validated cognitive assessment that is widely used in classrooms across the world. The assessment includes a series of nine distinct puzzle-like tasks that measures 10 cognitive skills across the domains of complex reasoning, executive functions, memory and processing. Schools purchase the assessment for all of their students as part of an multi-tiered system support (MTSS) solution to differentiate whole class instruction (Tier 1) and provide personalized learning plans for students (Tier 2 and Tier 3).

How has it been spreading?

MindPrint Learning doubled students served in 2023, assessing approximately 60,000 students in 22 U.S. states and 11 countries. MindPrint’s products are sold through a combination of full-time sales representatives and independents. MindPrint has partnerships with NWEA and Otus for co-promotion and product integrations.

Currently, MindPrint serves students in 22 states and 11 countries including the UAE, India, and Australia.
