A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in the education space, data visualization speaks volumes.

While K12 schools have a vast corpus of learner data in their arsenal, it is yet to be leveraged for enhancing student learning. However, the recent black swan event and subsequent disruptions in education have made it crucial for the global academic community to use this data to guide curriculums and improve student learning.

According to a report by the American Institutes for Research, using meaningful, data-driven insights in instructional decisions can improve student performance. Even a simple analysis of institutional data can reveal an at-risk student, indicating the need for additional support. Efficient data analysis and interpretation provide educators with a snapshot of their students’ capabilities, behavior, and goals, providing an extra edge in addressing their varying academic needs.

Edvance is taking the lead in equipping educators with state-of-the-art visualization and drill-down analytics tools to implement data-driven instruction better.

A provider of education management services, Edvance Learning Systems specializes in offering unrivaled school administration; powered by a team of academic specialists who are working to re-architect the future of the U.S. education system, Edvance LS delivers data analytics on student performance through its learning management systems.

We Continuously Improve our Robust Learning Systems Closely Linked to Schools’ Curriculum

“We help impart the significance of data-driven decision-making and instructions in crafting a student’s academic journey to ensure better outcomes,” says Daniel Rishavy, president and CEO of Edvance Learning Systems. “We continuously improve our robust learning systems closely linked to schools’ curriculum.”

A Tech-Driven Academic Revolution

Edvance Learning Systems offers three key products; GAINS, Captures, and Edvance Integrations.

While each of these products is designed and developed to deliver unique benefits to schools, they can also be combined into a powerful, unified suit to provide an all-inclusive experience.

Through its flagship product, GAINS, Edvance Learning Systems focuses on addressing a key concern of educators who say that performance data is crucial, yet excessive testing interferes with instruction time. This makes it essential to make the best use of curriculum and state-mandated assessments already being given. Also, better ways are needed to measure education equity and use the findings in instructional practices.

GAINS excels at providing in-depth data analytics, helping schools make better, more integrated use of assessments already being done through their curriculum and state mandates. Using GAINS to review daily, weekly, or monthly assessments enables educators to redirect instructions for individualized student learning.

With its easy-to-use dashboards and multi-dimensional analysis, GAINS empowers educators to identify learning gaps mapped to curriculum standards quickly. The depth of analytics provided via these dashboards helps instructors zero in on student performance and needed learning remediation, with an emphasis on individual outcomes. Having these insights on a timely basis enables them to tailor learning and improve instruction. GAINS also validates education outcomes based on equity and measures student performance against absenteeism.

Backing Excellence with Innovation

Complementing Edvance Learning Systems’ GAINS is its Captures product, a portal that presents learning content. Students can use this solution to take their online assessments, providing results with more in-depth analysis through its integrations with GAINS. With Captures, schools own their data, and if they ever choose to leave Edvance Learning Systems, they retain it.

Edvance Integrations brings the benefits of other solution providers that complement GAINS and Captures. The company has recently integrated with a PowerPoint platform, ShyftPoint, that ingests a school’s PowerPoint-based lessons, automatically making each slide searchable and usable on its own or in conjunction with other related content.

Making a World of Difference

Edvance integrates with schools’ curricula, provides in-depth data analytics, and can be customized to specific formative, summative and longitudinal measurements. With its powerful solutions platform, schools can seamlessly access customized, deep analysis of formative, summative, and longitudinal data in easy-to-use yet robust dashboards. Edvance also ensures that student learning outcomes are readily sorted and drilled down for deeper analysis. For example, GAINS’ end-of-year analysis helps determine the quality of instruction and curriculum in support of a school’s continuous improvement program.

Edvance’s test case is a Title 1 charter school that had a “D” grade in 2016. At that time, this charter school’s governing board challenged Dan Rishavy to provide better outcomes for the school. This was the beginning of the development of GAINS. In the first year of its development, the school saw progressive growth in its overall performance, moving to a low “B” in 2017, a high “B” in 2018, and an “A” for every graded since, including 2022, when many schools across the nation saw a decline in their scores. While any school can benefit from Edvance Learning Systems’ products, this accomplishment in a challenging educational environment validates its efficacy.

These instances are a testament to Edvance Learning Systems’ excellence in driving schools to success, providing them with the best assets to keep students competitive. Teachers who use the company’s flagship product, GAINS, say it is essential for achieving learning gains in their classrooms. Edvance Learning Systems continues to up its ante by incorporating functionality that helps teachers better collaborate and share learning outcomes so that the school and school system can leverage their teacher-produced resources.
