Crystal Dashboard Design, Xcelsius 2008: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/dashboards-visualization/sapcrystaldashboard-starter/index.epx
Whatis a dashboard?
Why a dashboard?
- Visual. Update db quarterly and look at it at that time.
What is measured? Need to be measurable (BOE goals---need to be manageable)
- Participation of students in extracular and service activities
- All students will have literacy skills on or above grade level
- 90% proficiency and 40% mastery on all assessments
- Grad rate:-98% graduation rate for every cohort
- All students will develop dream plans and make progress toward reaching their dreams
Note, have had these goals for several years but haven't actually measured them. Now w/a dashboard, they have the metrics to measure.
What is the dashboard?
- Summaries backed up by student names and data
- updated quarterly
- Used to watch progress throughout the year (not an autopsy, proactive)
- Leads to more questions about student performance
Not live data. Can't connect to SIS. Not really a teacher tool (yet), primarily admins and teacher leaders.
What data? Started w/making the data really graphical.
- K-2 used DRAs
- 3-8 ELA/Math: compared against target schools
- three year grad rate
- Regents performance (90%-40%)
Next Steps: Considered: Where the data is coming from? (they use Schooltool). How easy to use? Cost? How could we create our own? They have a "ton" of data (like us)....local assessments, student participation in extra curricular
Looked at ST IQ
Need to establish processes for who is doing the data input (varies by data type)
Design Tabs: Each tab corresponds to a BOE Goal
- District page: summary of 2010
- Regents scores: proficient and mastery
- Percent of students reading on/above grade level--tracking students, not grade levels so they organize "by the class of..."
- Visual/by grade of where they are proficient and mastery
Comparison Data-
- Regents: Only comparing to themselves over time
- 3-8 Assessment-can embed comparisons to target schools (always looking at proficiency and mastery levels)
Extra Curricular
- track participation and/or suveying/counts
- Enables them to see all the students who are not involved with anything
Literacy
- Created trajectories for growth to proficiency (all students will reach 90% mastery)
- Tracking students on DRAs--% of students reading on/above grade level (beginning, middle, end of year)
- f & P-translate letter to grade level
- Use a scattergram -- used Inspire data http://www.inspiration.com/InspireData
- MS/HS-what data do we track to make sure students are on trajectory--quarterly summary of grades -- tracking grades across quarters
Dreams
Future-
- Teacher analysis
- Subject analysis
- Teacher Comparison
- Teacher Historical
- Budget
Looked at a variety of products.
NOTE: How do we measure our BOE goals? Are they specific and measureable? Do we have systems in place?
