This Starter Kit includes data visualizations for staff such as counselors, instructional coaches, and administrators administrative staff. The dashboard helps stakeholders answer questions such as “Are students improving over timeadministration answer the question “Do my students have equitable access to academic programs, experienced teachers, educational outcomes, and discipline outcomes?"
The visualizations present multiple measures of assessment data in one view that shows how the student is performing by subject area or learning standardacademic programs, experienced teachers, educational outcomes, and discipline outcome data for students. Each visualization allows administrators to see varying student populations within their district, whether they have access to each of these areas of investigation, and how those student populations compare to other student populations.
The dashboard is powered by data via certified API connections or published mappings (e.g. Data Import). Visualizations are from various assessments, including multiple summative, interim, or other benchmark assessment tools, to get a multifaceted view of student progress.

After looking at the trend information for my school I will also want to drill down into individual students to see how they are performing. There are three areas I'll want to look at regarding student performance:
- Across subject areas
- Based on our defined learning standards
- Based on individual assessments
Academic Programs
The academic program report shows all the academic programs in your district and counts the students that are part of that academic program. You can group the report to see how student counts compare to other student populations. There are also filtering options to see how a specific group of students are represented within the academic programs.
Selecting a bar on the chart will highlight those students in the lower student section.
Teachers
The teacher report shows the average teacher performance or average teaching tenure for the teachers teaching each student population. You can group the report to see how student counts compare to other student populations. There are also filtering options to see how a specific group of students has access to experienced and tenured teachers. Changing between average tenure and average performance can be done by selecting the top right dropdown found on the chart.
Selecting a bar on the chart will highlight those students in the lower student section.
