End-of-year reporting can be one of the most demanding tasks teachers face. With parents expecting detailed, personalised feedback and assessment deadlines looming, the pressure can feel relentless. Evidence Me by 2Simple is designed to take that pressure off, giving you powerful, easy-to-use reporting tools that turn your assessments into polished, shareable reports in just a few clicks.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

The Mash of the Month for October is 2Calculate, the Purple Mash tool that teaches children how to use spreadsheets.
