The Boxall Profile provides a framework for the precise assessment of children and young people’s social and emotional aptitudes. It provides staff with insights and suggests points of entry into the child's world, allowing teachers to think about what lies behind their student’s behaviour, and how to plan accordingly.
“The Boxall Profile gives us a structure to look at young people’s behaviour, to discuss it constructively and plan together what we can do about it. We have not discussed our pupils as positively as this before.” – Secondary School Teacher, London.
The Boxall Profile is, from a practical point of view, very easy to use. The two-part checklist, which is completed by staff who know the child best in a classroom situation, is quick — and, very importantly, it is constructive.
On completion, the scores of each individual student are compared to the standardised emotional literacy scores of children and young people of a similar age group.
Individualised, achievable targets for social and emotional aptitudes are then set for the student in the form of a personalised Individual Learning Plan which can be reviewed and re-assessed periodically as a whole-school approach.
Ages 4 to 18. There are two Boxall Profile Tests - one for children (nursery/primary school pupils), and the other for young people (secondary school students), which the online BP automatically selects according to the date of birth inputted.
Yes. The strategies suggested by the Boxall Profile can be effectively incorporated into the routines of a mainstream classroom. 30 percent of the 8000+ BP online assessments in the academic year 15/16 were for children solely attending mainstream classrooms.
Yes. The Boxall Profile has been used in over 60 academic studies to date. In 2011, Couture, Cooper and Royer conducted a study of the concurrent validity between the Boxall Profile and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire with 202 students aged 3-14 years. They concluded that the BP and the SDQ measure comparable features in children and adolescents, and that “the statistical evidence suggests that the BP is suitable for use in a research context.” The normal, borderline and abstract summaries used in the online BP are based on this study.
