We know what it's like to sit down during your non-contact time and not even know where to start. That's why we designed Mana Journeys.

This article walks you through the benefits of switching over to Mana journeys for your cycle of planning work for each of your key children.
​

Benefit 1: Clearly organised documentation, automatically linked and sorted

  1. Each child's observations, follow-ups, plans, and reflections can be clearly documented and viewed at a glance against the corresponding stage of a cycle/ILP.

  2. Mana automatically sorts and links your documents to your children's journeys in Mana, saving you time - no need to manually link things and sort things when you use Mana.


Benefit 2: Intelligent tracking of your cycle of planning progress

  1. Each stage is automatically marked off when completed, for real time feedback and to help stay on track and manage next steps.

  2. You can see at a glance where you're at with each child each time your planning so you can pick-up from where you left off.

Benefit 3: In-built mentoring and coaching throughout the cycle of planning experience

  1. Coach Sue gives guidance throughout the cycle by suggesting next steps at each stage.

Benefit 4: Support to manage your workload and remain compliant when you use Mana journeys for your cycles

  1. Built-in AI detects journeys that need your attention by flagging any children without a journey, and any journeys that are off-track or overdue. Basically, you don't need to spend time checking this manually - just visit your home page to determine where you should focus your attention.

  2. Your dashboard helps you feel confident that each of your children have active journeys and supported to keep those journeys on track.

  3. This helps with assessment and rating, internal audits, and quality improvement.

Benefit 5: Straightforward, simple summative assessment experience

  1. When you use Mana to develop all of your documents associated with a child's cycle of planning, your summative assessments are very straightforward to complete.

  2. Mana remembers and collates all of your inputs from throughout the cycle.

  3. You can easily generate summative assessments or progression of learning documents by pulling together linked documents in a child's journey.
