The Ed-Fi “Classic Dashboards” are no longer supported through the Ed-Fi Alliance. You can still receive support and maintenance through the Ed-Fi vendor community. Please look at any of the vendors’ dashboard solutions on the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges or the Ed-Fi Starter Kits if you are looking for a visualization solution to use with the Ed-Fi ODS. This documentation will remain available to assist existing Classic Dashboard implementers.

Overview

The Class Period Absence Rate metric lets educators know that a student is having an issue with a specific class subject or time period. It provides insight into student attendance issues that may not be evident from the more high-level daily attendance rate. It is therefore important to monitor class period attendance rate in order to intervene with students as early as possible. 

Class period and other varieties of partial-day absences are likely to lead to a greater number of days absent. Also, in environments where daily attendance is only taken during the morning, class period absences, typically recorded for all classes at the secondary level, provide a more accurate picture of how often students are actually receiving classroom instruction.
