Teacher Professional Development for the Use of Data Dashboards

The need for implementing data into daily instruction has become an expectation in the 21st century. With an inundation of formative, summative, and teacher-created data, educators are overwhelmed with acquiring and managing such information to effectively inform instruction. Northern Unified School District (fictitious name) employs multiple sites and access points for data retrieval (Aeries, Data Director, etc.) to which many of its educators do not have the skills to use effectively. The Aeries Analytics and Early Warning System Data Dashboard can consolidate data into a clear portrait of a class and/or student, which allows teachers to analyze data and inform instruction when needed. This project creates an instruction handbook for educators to use the Aeries Analytics and Early Warning Data Dashboard and manipulate the Dashboard components for their own specifications
