Student Views Can Help Focus Conversations on the Most Relevant Data Points
District and School Leaders have the ability to save and share Views with other Schoolzilla users in their buildings or across the district. This is a great resource for leaders who want all staff members to have access to the same types of data during PLCs or staff meetings.
Here are just a few of the ways Views can support your data-driven culture:
- Moves the relevant metrics to the left of the screen, keeping them front and center with no scrolling
- Allows sorting and filtering of the selected metrics, allowing teachers to do their own analysis
- Teachers will see the same metrics, but only the students rostered to them
- Teachers can easily create Student Intervention Groups with the metrics you've selected as a starting point
Here Are a Few Suggestions for Using Views to Facilitate Data-Driven Conversations
Create a view that shows how students with different EL proficiency are scoring on beginning of year benchmarks. Just using the EL demographic filter can miss important nuance. English learners at varying proficiency levels will need different types of support. Consider asking teachers to look for students who have high EL proficiency but low benchmark assessment scores, or consider asking them to look for students at the lowest EL proficiency level to consider what supports they might need.
Create a view that shows students who have strong attendance or engagement and are failing one course. If you have subject-specific course failure tiles, consider creating multiple views for students failing courses in a specific department (e.g., strong attendance + failing a math course). Teachers will only see the students rostered to them, and can create Student Intervention Groups during the meeting.
Create a view that shows both reading and math benchmark assessment scores. Remember, teachers can continue to sort and filter both metrics without losing the View. Consider asking teachers to look for students who scored 4s in both content areas, students who are proficient in only math or reading, and students who are struggling in both math and reading.
