Olga's Story: Seeing the Whole Child to Personalize their Learning Experience
Schools constantly gather data on their students, but that data often remains siloed, giving educators incomplete or inaccurate information about the learners in their classrooms. Follow Olga, Director of Student Services, as she implements a set of tools that provide a comprehensive portrait of the whole child, enabling teachers to meet each student where they are.
Olga's Challenge: Siloed information prevents educators from nurturing the whole child
Olga’s district kept its attendance data in one tracking system, its behavior reports in another, and its MTSS initiatives in yet another. In her work to create individual student support plans, Olga would spend hours compiling data from multiple sources, and even more time analyzing it. Olga worried that she and her team lacked complete information to identify areas where students needed support.
Olga's Solution: Digital histories and predictive analytics reveal the whole child
Olga integrated a set of tools that could provide comprehensive support for attendance, behavior, and MTSS initiatives, fitting together the pieces she needed to help her team make impactful decisions. With readily available whole child data, Olga and her team could efficiently support staff to make informed instructional decisions.
Olga invested in integrated tools that provide comprehensive insights. With a single sign-on (SSO), Olga and her team can centralize MTSS workflows, improve attendance and behavior-related outcomes, and bring together data from all sources to simplify and streamline analytics.
