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.
School / Staff Analysis
Log in to the dashboard with a district role. The screenshots below are for David Wilson, Superintendent at Grand Bend ISD.
Use case 1: As using data provided by your Student Information System (SIS).
Use Case: As a District Administrator, I want to be able to see how our students are performing and identify any areas where students may not be translating their skills. I will want to look at populations within the district that need intervention.
I can quickly see normalized performance level information across the student body over time. The color coded results based on Ed-Fi's standard performance level options help to quickly categorize overall performance while the individual scores give me context within the specific assessment.
see that all my students have equitable access to academic programs, experienced teachers, educational outcomes, and discipline outcomes so that I can address any inequity among the student population.
Log in to the dashboard with a district an administrator role. The screenshots below are for David Wilson, Superintendent at Grand Bend ISD.
Use case 1: As a District Administrator, I want to be able to see how our students are performing and identify any areas where students may not be translating their skills. I will want to look at populations within the district that need intervention.
As an administrator, I can move over to the Trends tab to see how different groups are performing over time. This gives a quick visual of the breakdown of students by performance level over time. I can use the filters on the left to inspect different student populations within the district.
The Staff and Subject Area filters help me check how students are performing in their core subjects as well as in relation to support provided by staff.
Student Analysis
Log in to the dashboard with a principal role. The screenshots below are for Chadwick Garner, principal at Grand Bend Elementary.
Use case 2: As a Principal, I want to be able to see trends for my school and identify students that need intervention.
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
This information will help me understand how students are performing and correlate their results in each specific context for student outcomes.
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.
Discipline Outcomes
The discipline outcomes report shows the discipline outcomes for 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 are represented within the discipline outcomes.
Selecting a bar on the chart will highlight those students in the lower student section.
