One of the pieces of feedback we have received was that in Otus the colors were the same for academic levels 3-6. Moving forward, these will be the colors:
Anything purple is proficient or above. The deeper the color purple, the higher the level. There are only 10 color options in Otus to use. We heard feedback from some teachers that they would like different shades of yellow or red for anything below, however that is not an option. While the colors might not be perfect, it is an upgrade in the fact that all levels have their own color and you can more clearly see the difference in scores.
Here are the colors for the Learning Behaviors:

With the rise of technology and the ability to connect with others virtually, we should feel more connected but in reality that’s not entirely true. Naturally, we are social creatures that crave quality relationships in real-life but with global situations such as the pandemic, the feeling of loneliness is more common than ever.
Here are some recommendations from Calm, our mental wellness partner, to help you navigate loneliness and build deeper connections:
Aloneness
Learn the difference between aloneness and loneliness.
