How to explore the TASK™ results

When analyzing session results, consider the following:

  1. Subjects and domains
    • Identify which subjects students scored highest and lowest in.
    • Consider if this reflects curriculum emphasis or gaps in teaching.
  2. Framework comparison
    • Look for significant differences between and within frameworks.
    • Are students stronger in certain sustainability areas? Are some underrepresented?
  3. Patterns across sessions
    • Compare results with previous sessions to identify trends and progress.
    • Use historical data to evaluate the impact of curriculum changes.
  4. Curriculum alignment
    • Reflect on how session results align with what is being taught (or not taught)
    • Which areas of sustainability education are well-covered, and which need more attention?
  5. Targeted action
    • Celebrate high-performing areas to motivate students.
    • Use insights to design interventions, workshops, or updates to courses.
    • Consider creating learning pathways or supplemental resources for lower-scoring subjects.
