To provide districts with a tool that can easily and affordably make all
relevant student data accessible and usable, thus empowering systemic
improvement decision making related to:
◦ Tracking and understanding the factors that lead to ascending or descending
student performance
◦ Analysis of all available student performance data for trends (success, risk, etc.) and
overlays between local and standardized assessments
◦ Comparisons to any internal or externally defined cohort
◦ Customized tracking or displays of all kinds.
◦ Access from the district, building or individual teacher dashboard levels
