Make every learner'sprogress visible.
Educa gives specialist learning support teams one shared place to capture student stories, goals, evidence, and whānau updates — so each learner's journey is easier to see, share, and support.
In specialist learning support, progress is individual and often built through small, meaningful steps: communication, participation, independence, confidence, and connection.
Educa helps teams keep those steps visible, connected, and easier to share with whānau.
Capture individualised progress in one shared place
Document each learner's progress flexibly, in the moment, without adding to the admin load.
- Photos, videos, observations, and reflections in one student-centred record.
- Multiple staff can contribute, so each learner's record holds more than one perspective.
- Evidence stays connected to the learner — not scattered across folders or drives.
- Built for highly individualised documentation needs.

Private, child-specific sharing that helps whānau see growth as it happens — without overloading staff.
- Share meaningful updates privately with each student's family.
- Family access stays child-specific and controlled.
- Invite comments and insights from whānau where appropriate.
- Designed to be manageable for staff, not another admin process.

What Educa can help your team do
Practical shifts specialist learning support teams tell us matter most.
One place for the whole team
Consolidate records, communication, and goals so everyone supporting a learner is working from the same picture.
Families stay informed
Share child-specific updates that are easy to send home, so whānau see progress as it happens.
Visible progress against goals
Link everyday observations to IEP goals so growth against each goal is easy to see over time.
Every student explores, participates, communicates, and grows in their own way. Our job is to help teams notice and support that journey — capturing the small moments that, together, show how each learner is growing.
