About Teaching Impact Score Lite
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
Teaching Impact Score Lite helps online teachers reflect on their own practice and see, in a few minutes, where they’re strongest and where they have the most room to grow.
Teachers answer a short series of questions across five teaching dimensions: instructional practice, student relationships, adaptability, professional growth, and leadership. The plugin then calculates a Teaching Impact Score out of 100, awards relevant badges, matches them to a teaching archetype, and gives a free, logic-based diagnostic highlighting their single strongest dimension and single biggest growth opportunity.
What’s included in Lite:
- The full reflective scoring wizard across five teaching dimensions
- An overall Teaching Impact Score, calculated entirely server-side so results can’t be tampered with from the browser
- Badges and a matched teaching archetype
- A free diagnostic identifying the teacher’s clearest strength and biggest growth area
- A shareable, read-only result link teachers can send to anyone, with no login required to view it
- No account, email address, or sign-up required to use the calculator itself
Want more?
Teaching Impact Score Pro (sold separately, not on WordPress.org) adds:
- An AI-powered personalised mentor report, including a tailored 30-Day Challenge and one high-impact habit to start tomorrow
- A branded, downloadable PDF CPD certificate of achievement
- Score history, so teachers can track their progress over time
- Global benchmarking – “You scored higher than 84% of online English teachers worldwide” – compared against all teachers, teachers in the same subject, same country, and similar experience level
Lite never nags or interrupts the free experience to push Pro. An optional, dismissible upgrade link appears only if the site owner has configured one in Settings.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to
/wp-content/plugins/teaching-impact-score-lite, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Add the shortcode
[tis_lite_calculator]to any page or post. - Optionally, visit Settings -> Teaching Impact Score to set the URL of the page where you’ve placed the shortcode (used on shared result pages) and an upgrade link if you have one.
No database setup or configuration is required for the calculator itself to work. A small database table is created automatically, used only to store shareable result links – the plugin does not otherwise save any personal data.
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin require an API key or any paid service to work?
No. Teaching Impact Score Lite works fully out of the box with no external accounts, API keys, or paid services required.
Does Lite save or store teachers’ answers?
No, not by default. The calculator returns a result directly without saving anything. The only thing ever written to the database is a shareable result link, and only when a teacher explicitly chooses to create one – and even then, only the final score, badges, and archetype are stored, never the individual question answers.
Is an email address required to use the calculator?
No. Lite asks for a name (used to personalise the on-screen result and any shared link), years of teaching experience, primary subject area, country, and the platforms you teach on. None of this is required to be accurate or verified, and none of it is used for tracking, advertising, or shared with any third party.
What’s the difference between Lite and Pro?
Lite includes the full scoring wizard, badges, archetype matching, a free diagnostic, and shareable result links. Pro (sold separately) adds an AI-generated personalised mentor report, a downloadable PDF CPD certificate, score history over time, and benchmarking against other teachers globally. See the Description tab above for the full comparison.
Can I use this on a multi-author or membership site?
Yes. The shortcode can be placed on any page, and there is no limit on how many teachers can use the calculator.
Is the scoring done in the browser or on the server?
All scoring happens server-side in PHP. The browser never receives the scoring logic or weights, so results can’t be manipulated by editing JavaScript or page source.
