Are our students performing at grade level or higher?
How have they performed in the past?
Getting Started:
Charts are interactive graphs that immediately populate after academic, social-emotional behavior (SEB), attendance, and behavior incident data are added. Use charts to answer high-level questions about achievement and growth across multiple measures and years. Click into any chart to see longitudinal patterns and subskill details. Filter charts to disaggregate data by different groups of students.
Digging Deeper:
The Effectiveness Report visualizes achievement and growth between assessment periods for various measures. Explore how students are moving between risk levels or performance bands to determine where instruction and intervention are already supporting students and where additional adjustments are needed. Click the report to see which students are represented.
Which students are demonstrating a risk of not meeting learning targets?
How long have they demonstrated a risk?
Getting Started:
The Effectiveness Report visualizes changes in achievement and growth between assessment periods for various measures.

Click the report to see which students are represented.
Digging Deeper:
Thresholds is an early warning and alert system that provides 24/7 automated data monitoring across assessment, attendance, behavior incident, and other data. Use the interactive reporting to monitor shifts in universal, group, and individual student needs as they happen. The system emails the right users when a student crosses a threshold so they're alerted as soon as a student shows a potential need.
Are our students' outcomes equitable?
Do we see different results for different groups of students?
Getting Started:
Program Evaluation provides one-click data disaggregation by school, grade, gender, and ethnicity. Use the Program Evaluation Module to intentionally explore risk levels and proficiency for groups of students, visualize overall trends and improvement, and reveal longitudinal patterns in student outcomes. Toggle in additional filters for different groups of students, programs, or interventions to isolate and examine differences in outcomes.
Note: System administrators have the option to activate this feature for individual users. Reach out to your system administrator if you do not see it available in your account.

Are there Tier 1 needs in my class, student group, grade level, or school? What are they?
Getting Started:
Data Walls automatically pull together whole child data in spreadsheet format for effortless data triangulation at the class, group, grade, or school level. Use the default data walls or build your own to visualize data across multiple measures. Identify Tier 1 needs and support diagnostic processes and root cause analysis. Click into the report to see historic scores, group students, add an intervention group on the fly, or check an intervention's status.
Digging Deeper:
Scatterplots help educators understand the correlations between attendance, behavior incidents, and various assessments. Easily determine whether there's a correlation between two data sets to help validate or disprove hypotheses around which data are important for triangulation (e.g., Is there a relationship between students' attendance and results on a screening assessment?). Better understand which data sets provide information that drives improved student outcomes, and which data sets do not provide meaningful guidance.
What are the whole child strengths and needs for each individual student?
Getting Started:
The Student Profile shows all of a student's whole child data in one place for both current and past years. Explore academic, social-emotional behavior (SEB), attendance, behavior incident, intervention, and qualitative data to get a full picture of learning and needs for each student.
Digging Deeper:
The Student Profile is also interactive. Click into any data point to examine longitudinal data and explore past instruction and intervention strategies (and their effectiveness) to inform root cause analysis and determine the right next step for each learner.
How can we collaborate to analyze data and pinpoint Tier 1, group, or individual student needs?
Getting Started:
Collections help data teams "pin" charts, data walls, and key documents together to easily access or share. Quickly pull up all the right data for your meeting or data conversation. Easily monitor key data and different groups of students throughout the year, without having to recreate reports or navigate to multiple places throughout the system. The pinned charts and data walls are automatically updated in real-time as new data are added.
