Academic Dashboards
2015-2016
 
Goals:
1. Review the Boards Dashboard and update formatting

  • Build a little box at the top of the dashboard including 5 KPIs with green, yellow, red: Those would include the following:
  • Academic Dashboard Domains: Academics, Culture, Attendance
    • On-Grade Level Reading
    • Proficiency
    • SBAC ELA, Math – 1 per year
    • NWEA ELA, Math – 3 times per year
    • Interims ELA, Math – 3 times per year
    • Subgroups – FRL, SPED, ELL, Race/Ethnicity
    • Culture
  • Ratio positives to negatives
  • Attendance
  • Absent >10%
2. Think critically about metrics – make it actionable
  • AA committee – will review the dashboard more in depth – break down each of the elements – lets do a deep dive every other month – pick out the negative trends and pull data for the next time.
3. Strengths and Needs Assessment: Data Analysis and Action Plans, Data Integrity
  • Data Analysis: What is the process for actually using the data? What is working well? What are the gaps? What can be improved?
  • Data Action Planning: What is the follow through with action plans?  
  • Data Integrity: How does this data look? How quickly is this being shared?  Is the data accurate? Is it on time and is it accurate?
