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.

Dropping Class Grades

Overview


Educators should review a student’s academic history (detailed course credit and grade information for current and prior years) to see related courses with which a student may be struggling or has struggled with in the past. In addition, educators can review aggregated information on declining grades for groups of students in order to identify and address similar issues among groups of students or issues within a particular subject.     

With the ability to closely monitor course performance at the end of each grading period, educators can introduce specific academic interventions with one student or a group of students before a declining grade or eventual failure in one grading period becomes a permanent low grade or course failure and credit deficit at semester- or year-end. In addition to targeted academic support, teachers can pursue interventions to improve the conditions that research suggests affect classroom effort and achievement.
