Risk screening tells a school who to worry about. It says nothing about the learner who is steady, honest, contributing and growing. Thrive is the counterweight: it asks what a learner is growing into, and names strength as clearly as most systems name concern.
developmental domains across four pillars, answered by every learner in Grades 8 to 12.
Developmental Actions: six per domain at each of five levels, from individual to community.
advisory lessons in the paired Character Anchors curriculum, written for South African schools.
Every learner in Grades 8 to 12 answers the LearnerLens Values and Character Index. Results are read as a cohort profile across ten domains and four pillars, banded from Priority for Development to Established Strength.

Every learner in Grades 8 to 12 completes the LVCI: 80 domain items plus two companion scales.
Ten domain bands are grouped by pillar, with environment domains marked as school-level.
Developmental Actions are chosen at the right level: individual, classroom, grade, school or community.
Character Anchors advisory lessons carry the same ten domains into weekly practice.
The census repeats annually, showing how the cohort's developmental profile moves.
Feelings of Support and Sense of Inclusion ask a learner to rate the people and the school around them, so they are reported at cohort level only. They never produce an individual band and never trigger an individual intervention. A low score there is not a deficit in the child.
A School Voice Provision companion scale sits beside Voice, so a school with low learner voice can see whether the shortfall is learner confidence, school provision, or both. Version 1 summed the two into a single number that could not tell them apart.
Open an intervention for implementation steps and owners, a goal for evidence of success with measure, target and timeframe, and an action for the research it rests on, including effect size, sample and caveats.
The item register, revision log and claim register live inside the product. Where a construct has no South African validation behind it, the page says so.
Signature feature
Feelings of Support and Sense of Inclusion ask a learner to rate the people and the school around them. So they are marked as environment measures: they are reported at cohort level only, they never produce an individual band, and they never trigger an individual intervention. A low score there is not a deficit in the child.
Alongside them sits a companion scale, School Voice Provision, reported beside Voice — so a school with low learner voice can see whether the shortfall is learner confidence, school provision, or both. In version 1 those two were summed into one number that could not tell them apart.
