- #28 We have invested heavily in ensuring you, your fellow administrators, and your teachers have access to data that is meaningful and actionable. This fall, our new educator experience will become available. New dashboards will provide at-a-glace insights into student proficiency and program usage – helping educators determine what action is needed to have an even greater impact on student learning All dashboards present data intuitively, so you and your teachers can access the information you need, when you need it. Helps educators know when to stay the course and when to pivot instruction Allows teachers to facilitate more meaningful conversations. (Left) Teachers can dive deeper into specific information about how their class is performing against the standards. Here they can see which students have mastered the standard, which have not, and which have not attempted it. This data is based on continuous formative assessment. A teacher might use this report is in lesson planning - they can look at this report to gain insight into where each student is and then take action by creating learning groups or pulling a student aside for more 1:1 instruction. (Right)The activity feed allows teachers to see what students are working on. They can click into the demo lessons so they can experience the instruction - just like the student. Many teachers use this to expand their understanding of the math concept and develop new teaching strategies to support student learning.
