What is Earwig?
A software package designed by clever teachers to turn the whole business of providing teaching evidence, making assessments, tracking progress and reporting into a pleasure rather than a chore.
Schools spend too much time dealing with formative assessment and taking and organising their teaching evidence. Earwig is an app which solves this problem, enabling teachers to produce elegant timelines for every class, subject and pupil easily and quickly. Making, tracking and reporting assessments is also a doddle. No matter which assessment framework you use, just load it into Earwig and you’re away. Earwig is particularly useful for dealing with special needs assessment and has won many awards. It was deemed a “game changer” by The Sunday Times and won five stars in an independent test by the Educational App Store.
