Analytics for Every Classroom
Empowering K-12 teachers with simple, actionable data insights for better student outcomes.
Welcome participants and introduce the purpose of today’s session: using simple analytics dashboards to inform instruction. Mention duration (15 minutes) and high-level agenda.
Learning Objectives
• Understand basic dashboard components
• Interpret key student performance metrics
• Take data-driven actions in your classroom
Review the three learning objectives. Emphasize that by the end, teachers will know how to read a dashboard, interpret key metrics, and apply insights in their classroom.
Why Data Matters
• Personalize learning paths
• Monitor progress in real time
• Identify and address gaps early
Explain why data is essential for tailoring instruction and identifying students who need support. Share a quick anecdote or statistic about improved outcomes when teachers use data.
Dashboard Overview
A typical dashboard includes:
• Filters (by class, grade, date)
• Visual charts (bar, line, pie)
• Data tables with detailed metrics
Introduce the sample analytics dashboard interface. Point out the main sections: filters, charts, and tables.
Key Metric: Student Progress
• View individual and class-level growth
• Track mastery of standards
• Compare current vs. previous periods
Dive into the ‘Student Progress’ metric. Explain how to read growth trends over time and compare against benchmarks.
Key Metric: Engagement & Attendance
• Monitor attendance patterns
• Measure participation rates
• Correlate engagement with achievement
Highlight ‘Engagement & Attendance.’ Show how spikes or dips can signal early warning signs.
Filters & Custom Views
• Apply filters by grade, subgroup, or date
• Save custom views for quick access
• Export filtered data for reporting
Demonstrate how to use filters and custom views to focus on specific groups (e.g., EL students or high-need learners).
Play the short demo video showing a live tour of the dashboard: selecting filters, viewing charts, and exporting a report.
Putting Insights into Action
- Schedule weekly data check-ins
- Collaborate with peers on trends
- Set SMART goals and monitor progress
Discuss next steps: scheduling regular data reviews, collaborating with colleagues, and setting targets based on insights.
