Benefits for Schools / Agencies

The best way to make sure the actions you take to support children’s wellbeing are fit-for-purpose (and effective!) is to base your decision-making on reliable social-emotional assessment data.

The Rumble’s Quest assessment system lets you gather and use data that you can rely on to:

• understand the real socio-emotional strengths and challenges within your school
• choose social-emotional support programs that are relevant and responsive to your situation
• look at whether your program efforts are benefiting children’s wellbeing
• assess whether your resources are being used to good effect

Rumble’s Quest has been developed and field tested through years of work undertaken by university researchers with expert knowledge of child psychology working in partnership with schools.

How does Rumble’s Quest make data meaningful?

• Its data gathering tool (the Rumble’s Quest video game) facilitates early identification of children’s social emotional strengths and needs, and provides trustworthy assessment data.
• It helps you adopt an action orientation by displaying this data in ways that promote shared understanding of the issues relevant to the children you work with. It lights the way for you to develop your own local solutions to address needs specific to the context you are working in.
• It works in harmony with your existing framework, providing complementary assessment data that can provide additional insights into issues shown in administrative data you already collect (like absences and disciplinary referrals), allowing you to address these issues with more targeted constructive action.
• It allows you to view data and trends at a whole group level, or to drill down into individual results as needed, so you can really understand the nature and extent of the opportunities and challenges within your school.

Be confident and assured – you’re not left all alone to figure it out. Extensive support materials make it easy to set up and deploy Rumble’s Quest, and to run reports and review your data.

You don’t need special training – just appoint a key staff member to take the lead, and you’re on your way. The user-friendly design means no database experience or special software skills are necessary.

There’s no added workload for classroom teachers or counsellors – they just need to set aside time for their class or group to play the game. I.T. setup is straightforward, and support is available.

You can use it at any time of the year, whenever it fits into your schedule. And you can run Rumble’s Quest every year to measure growth over time, and see the benefits of the supportive actions that you have undertaken.

Your group level data are benchmarked against a norming population. And you can even filter your group data (e.g. by grade or program level). This allows you to share relevant sections of reports with classroom teachers or counsellors who want to see their children’s results in relation to the whole school or cohort.

Your user dashboard is user-friendly and intuitive, making reporting a pleasure. Results are compiled and presented in ways that make sense. Rumble’s Quest gives you powerful and useful reporting functionality with drop-down menus, graphical displays, and options to export scores to spreadsheets for extended data review and analyses.

Support materials offer guidance and helpful suggestions for how to use your data, like how to interpret results, plan next steps, and move forward in a continuous review and improvement process. This system scaffolds the ongoing development of your school’s wellbeing initiatives.

Confidentiality is maintained through data encryption, secure data hosting, and password protection. Rumble’s Quest has been vetted and approved for use by multiple state-level education systems.
