Redesigned Goals on TUTOR — Smoother Learning, Stronger Results
on 28 January 2024
Pupils will navigate Goals with ease, build mathematical knowledge with confidence, and achieve greater results at a faster pace.
We’ve revamped Goals on TUTOR to make learning more effective, engaging, and rewarding for pupils at all levels, from Counting to Calculus. Let's explore!

Why have we updated Goals?
We wanted to build on the successes of TUTOR Goals, whilst addressing some opportunities identified from user feedback.
Each of the 1800+ Goals in TUTOR packs targeted learning materials, from prerequisite support and instructional videos to interactive examples, practice, and quizzing. By optimising their delivery, we're boosting impact and streamlining the experience for pupils.
While we constantly seek to introduce new features to meet evolving educational needs, sometimes the most impactful changes lie in optimising existing functionality, especially those at the core of the TUTOR platform.

How do the redesigned Goals work?
We've kept the core Goal structure you and your pupils know and trust, but have enhanced it for deeper impact.
Here is a video exploring redesigned Goals on TUTOR:
Let’s talk through some of the key improvements to Goals in this update:
Clearer Progress Tracking
See at-a-glance progress for each step within each goal, helping pupils focus and stay motivated.
Goal Completion Celebration:
TUTOR celebrates completed goals with pupils, reinforcing their achievements and spurring them onto the next activity.
Simplified Completion Criteria
No more confusion – Goals are completed when a pupil masters the Goal Quiz, with the learning sequence guiding them to that level of security.
Revamped Goal Steps
More intuitive layout with prioritised actions, clear buttons, and familiar video thumbnails to level up engagement with in-goal learning materials.
Sticky Next-Step Button
A handy addition, seamlessly guiding pupils through the learning sequence as each step is completed.
Usability Tweaks
Prioritised prerequisite ordering, optimised video sizing, and clear step completion notices, amongst other improvements to enhance usability.
My Goal Step Removal
Expediting the learning sequence, enabling pupils to focus on the key learning materials. The My Goal elements can still be found in each objective of the Curriculum on CLASSROOM.
Practice Promotion
Free Practice gets its own dedicated step, further solidifying the "Teach, Do, Practise, Behave" framework within the TUTOR learning sequence.
The Result?
A smoother, more enjoyable learning journey for your pupils. They'll navigate Goals with ease, build mathematical knowledge with confidence, and achieve greater results at a faster pace.
Particularly when coupled with the recently introduced Focus 5 functionality — tailoring learning pathways to individual learner needs — we’re excited to see the impact that these updates have for your pupils learning mathematics with TUTOR.
