Growth Resiliency Measure

Duration: 2 Week Sprint

Growth Resiliency Measure is a full stack web application designed to administer resiliency assessments to students and collect those results for analysis on an administrative level.

The assessments that GRM provides are 27 questions in length and scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. GRM was looking for an application to provide students easy access to the assessments as this would help take the workload off teacher’s plates.

GRM believes that resiliency is a better indicator of life long success over grades. The areas that the assessment tracks form the acronym B-SUCCESS. B-SUCCESS includes measures in balance, self-confidence, understanding, connection, contribution, empathy, self expression, and self control.

The objective of the project was to create an easy and intuitive application for students to take the assessments, and for administrators to visualize the data collected from students. The data visualizations can then be used to measure changes of the different measures of the B-Success method over time. Admins can use this data to target specific needs of an entire school, or address individual students if they see concerning trends in measures.

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

• Node.js
• PostrgeSQL
• Nodemon
• Postico

Create database and table

Please reference the databaseseed.sql file for database setup.

Installation

• Clone repository to local machine.
• Run npm install in terminal to install all necessary dependencies.
• To setup the database locally, please see the databaseseed.sql file for instructions.

Development Setup Instructions

• Run npm install
• Create a .env file at the root of the project and paste this line into the file:

  SERVER_SESSION_SECRET=superDuperSecret
  

  While you're in your new .env file, take the time to replace superDuperSecret with some long random string like 25POUbVtx6RKVNWszd9ERB9Bb6 to keep your application secure. Here's a site that can help you: https://passwordsgenerator.net/. If you don't do this step, create a secret with less than eight characters, or leave it as superDuperSecret, you will get a warning.
