Dashboard What is it? How can we use it?

Objective To become familiar with the Dashboard system. To become familiar with the Dashboard system. To later use Dashboard data to make instructional decisions AND provide intervention supports, which will support students to be “on-track”.

IMPACT A school district the size of Chicago generates an extraordinary amount of administrative data for operations, human resources, test scores, student behavior, and district and school finances. A school district the size of Chicago generates an extraordinary amount of administrative data for operations, human resources, test scores, student behavior, and district and school finances. Historically for CPS, accessing data and generating detailed reports from multiple information systems has been cumbersome at best, making accountability for performance issues difficult to administer. Historically for CPS, accessing data and generating detailed reports from multiple information systems has been cumbersome at best, making accountability for performance issues difficult to administer. For example, presently a principal can run a report and know that school attendance was below district standard in a given time period, but without sufficient detail to effectively address the issue with the specific individuals involved.

Dashboard Dashboard puts detailed, actionable information quickly and directly into the hands of district administrators and principals. As information is collected into the central data warehouse daily, the current status (based on the district’s defined targets) of key metrics will appear on the dashboard tool as “on-track” or “off-track”. Using the dashboard, a principal can see when an indicator, such as school attendance, falls below target. A click on the indictor will allow the principal to drill down to identify underperforming grade levels, specific classrooms and individual students so that teachers, students and parents can take immediate steps to remedy the situation.
