Selfe
Making Growth Visible, One Micro-Moment at a Time
What is Selfe?
In education, we’ve spent decades talking about social and emotional growth—now it’s time to measure it.
Selfe is the first micro-metric for personal development, making the invisible work of SEL visible, trackable, and actionable for every learner and educator.
Why Now? Why Selfe?
SEL, as defined by leaders like CASEL, transformed classrooms. But teachers still ask:
- How do I know my students are growing?
- How can I give feedback on SEL, not just academics?
- How do I track progress that isn't just a feeling?
Selfe answers these questions
How do we know a student is really growing—not just earning better grades, but building the life skills that matter most?
Selfe turns that question into something you can actually see.
Teachers and students can recognize those small wins—moments of courage, empathy, or focus—as they happen. Progress doesn’t have to wait for a survey or a report card.
With selfe, growth is visible and actionable, giving everyone a way to celebrate what matters.
And because selfe fits within any SEL framework, it’s a universal language for growth, not another new program to adopt.

One grade can’t tell the whole story. SynapseShot tracks three live metrics that make progress unmistakable.
🗓️
Dynamic Score
Smart average that weights recent work, so you see where each student stands today.
📊
Consistency Score
Measures how steady a student performs—spot the difference between lucky spikes and real mastery.
🗺️
Relational Network
Interactive map showing which skills boost (or block) others, so you can target the keystones first.
From Inputs to Outcomes
CoreTex strategies and Neuropacing timing set the stage. SynapseShot captures what happens next, linking every skill and habit so progress is crystal-clear.
Frequently asked questions
What is social-emotional learning (SEL)?
SEL is the set of skills that help students manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible choices. CASEL groups them into five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Meta-analyses show SEL programs boost prosocial behavior and raise academic scores across all grades—effects that last for years. Measuring makes those gains visible and guideable.
How do schools track SEL data today?
Common methods include climate surveys, behavior screeners, teacher-rated checklists, and rubric-based assessments. Each captures a slice of the picture but can be time-intensive to score and compare.
What’s the fastest way to collect SEL evidence while grading?
An AI-powered rubric (like SynapseShot) layers skills, habits, and SEL tags onto the grades you’re already giving—no extra forms or surveys.
Can AI really read SEL growth?
Yes. Large language models can classify rubric comments against SEL frameworks in seconds, turning narrative feedback into trackable metrics and trend graphs.
How do I merge academic grades with SEL insights?
SynapseShot’s “growth map” plots traditional scores alongside dynamic, consistency, and relational SEL metrics, so you see how mastery and mindset move together.

Teachers say it “turns grading into coaching.”
Administrators call it “the missing link between scores and SEL data.”
