| | DECEMBER 20239The first goal was to create a dashboard that allowed district leaders to monitor trends in the district, such as suspension data, absentee rates, and reading and math scores. The best part about AnalyticVue is that one can easily create custom roles for data consumption so that once the district view was created, the data could be parsed on a school identifier, and each school would automatically only see that school's data. It made for a smooth transition so that data could be secured by the building and only building administrators could see it. The system easily allowed the district to filter the data by students who are emergent bilinguals, have special needs, or may be homeless, in addition to many other demographic categories. The dashboard also allowed the staff to look at language as an indicator since over 70 languages are spoken in the district.During the winter of 2022, the district began to share the data with elementary teachers in what is known as a roster view. Teachers can see the data for only their students based on their class rosters in Aspen. It's also possible to look in more depth at a student's performance in what is called the learner analysis view. That view lets the district/teacher see anything that is known about a particular student's assessment scores, attendance, and behavior, including historical data. During the Fall and Winter, other constituents were also looking for reports, such as the high school to see who was skipping classes and the equity department to monitor children who attend after-school programs. The requests were fast and furious and caused the district to split the technology department into two parts: the Department of Educational Technology with all data and instructional technology and the Department of Technology with all devices and networking. The shift allowed the head of educational technology, Ann Mariano, and her small two-person team to focus on the many data requests.In September of 2023, the district and AnalyticVue added an MTSS module to the system to track individual student plans. They believe that this will allow the staff even more capacity to see student performance. During the launch of the module, in a span of two weeks, 254 plans were created by coaches and interventionists using a system designed by Mariano, the Framingham coordinator of MTSS, Sara DeLuca, and AnalyticVue. Next up is the ability to review data from classroom visit rubrics.The district plans to continue the progress it has made going forward. There is a roadmap over several years as to what can be done with the dashboard. Framingham is fortunate to have intelligent and dedicated educators who can take the knowledge provided by the dashboard and use it to help students.
