Each week, Hatch Insights™ identifies children who may need additional support based on their recent performance in Ignite™. When a child scores below 80% on an Ignite skill, the dashboard highlights this information so educators can quickly identify where support may be needed.
The information displayed varies based on your role.
You can watch the short video overview or continue reading to learn how to use the Support Needed dashboard.
Organizational Administrators
On your dashboard, you'll see a Support Needed tile that displays the total number of children across your organization who may need additional support.
Selecting the tile opens a summary report showing:
- Schools with children who may need support
- The number of children who scored below 80% or 50% on Ignite skills during the past seven days
- The number of children with stalled progress who may need intervention
- A link to the Support Needed report
- A link to the Intervention Needed report
From this report you can:
- Select View next to a school in the Support Needed column to drill down to the school-level report.
- Select View in the Intervention Needed column to open the Intervention Needed report and review children with stalled progress.
School Administrators
School administrators see the same information as organizational administrators, but only for their assigned school or schools.

Teachers
Teachers see a child-level view focused on their own classroom.
On your dashboard, the Support Needed tile displays:
- The profile picture of each child who may need support
- The Ignite subdomain where support is needed
Selecting the tile opens the Support Needed report, which includes:
- Child name
- Date and time the skill was played
- Skill subdomain
- Skill level
- Percentage correct
- Repeated Support Needed indicator, which identifies children who have struggled with the same skill multiple times and may benefit from additional attention
You'll also see a Curricular Experience button for each child. Selecting this button opens a teacher-led activity designed to reinforce the targeted skill.
We also recommend using Explore Ignite to give children additional opportunities to practice the skill in a self-directed learning experience.
How Ignite Automatically Supports Children
Ignite provides built-in support to help children master new skills before additional intervention is needed.
When a child struggles with a skill, Ignite:
- Provides targeted Guided Practice activities to reinforce learning.
- Requires a 36-hour wait period before the child attempts the same skill again, allowing time for practice and reinforcement.
If a child continues to struggle with the same skill after receiving Guided Practice, they may appear on the Intervention Needed report, indicating that additional educator support may be beneficial.
