Scholar and Parent Dashboards

Why

Without meaningful data, it is impossible for the community to contribute effectively to getting all scholars to or above grade level.

Background

From June 2021 to fall 2022 the Dingle Community PTA worked on a "Destination Scorecard" project. The scorecard lists the key things ("drivers") a school must do to get all scholars to or above grade level. By the fall of 2022, no evaluation had yet been published on any of those key drivers. Without data, it is difficult to tell stories and advocate. By accident, a parent and scholar over the first trimester in fall 2022 participated in a project that included looking at the scholars' data and talking about scholar experiences at school. Realizing parents and scholars have their own data and observations, that inspired this dashboard project.

Goal: Make the right thing the easiest thing

Parents are very busy and should be spending their limited available time supporting their scholars, not the school. Therefore, the proposed ideal experiences allow parents to:

• 'stay in their lane'

• be politically effective

• make use of the authorities and rights the have

• model what they want to see

Dashboard Users and Use Cases

Here are our assumptions and expectations, to be validated during the project:

• The average parent will not look at the dashboard results, expect possibly to see more information about their scholar's classroom.

• An advocate would use it to tell stories on classroom and school performance to parent representatives and for presentations to elected bodies, such as:

• An administrator or elected official would use it as another data point in their evaluations of their authorities and responsibilities.
