Director asks board to study SEL and executive-function assessments after reviewing Axiom Learning
Summary
Director Han Tran requested the board consider a study session on how the district measures social-emotional learning and executive function, citing a web-based tool called Axiom Learning as one example of available assessment portals for students, guardians, and educators.
During the Jan. 27 board meeting, Director Han Tran asked the board to consider scheduling a study session to review the district’s assessment processes for social‑emotional learning (SEL) and executive-function measures. Tran said the suggestion arose after encountering a web-based platform called Axiom Learning and that she wanted the board to better understand how the district currently tracks SEL measures.
Tran described Axiom Learning as offering three portals — for students, guardians and educators — that surface strengths and improvement areas, and that the platform includes tools educators and families can use to support growth. She emphasized she was not advocating for purchase of a specific product but asked the superintendent to work with staff to consider whether a study session could be scheduled; Superintendent Michael Tully and Board President Amy Cast agreed to explore available study-session slots.
Board members clarified that the requested session would focus on measurement and assessment practices for SEL and related domains rather than endorsement of any particular vendor. The board did not take formal action beyond directing the superintendent to consider the request and to coordinate with staff on potential placement of the topic in upcoming study-session schedules.
