The Aspire Ring for ages around 10 and above consists of 48 paired descriptions that profile a young person’s attitude to learning. It invites learners to select the descriptions that best describe them. The Ring presents their Learning Stances which shows how pupils feel about themselves. The Aspire Ring is a reflection tool, not a test. The Aspire Ring gives feedback in the form of a personal chart, allowing a discussion of their strengths and issues.

It gives four bits of information:

  • overall aspiration score from 0 to 100%
  • the learner's balance between being fair to self and fair to others e.g. 60% to 40%
  • a % score for each of the learning stances
  • the learner's specific strengths and issues

You can create a report of a group of learners through ASSEMBLY. See resources for more information.




Instructions

Have a look at each pair of descriptions. Select the one that best DESCRIBES YOU to highlight green. If both descriptions describe you, select both. If neither statements describe you, select until they fade.

Use the forward and back buttons to move between pages.

START

As a learner...

I am kind to myself

I am very hard on myself


I sometimes feel humiliated and crushed

People look up to me


I often promise to do things then don't

I usually do what I say I'll do

Creating Your Chart

A dialogue comes up when you have finished, and from there a PDF will be created once you press OK. Make sure there is a name in the name box above as this helps identify your chart from all the others.

Depending on your browser a preview of your chart will be displayed which can be printed. We will also attempt to save a pdf file onto your device. If no preview appears find your pdf (in Downloads) to print your chart.
