So, it is no secret that schools collect an monitor a ton of data. Including, but not limited to attendance, grades, staff performance data, various student data and health records, state assessment records, special education data, among many others. Just collecting all of this data is a huge challenge, let alone managing it. However, one company here at the Alabama Educational Technology Conference (AETC) wants to eliminate the headache of managing massive amounts of data.
SchoolStatus has built a powerful educational data management platform.
By creating a data framework designed around the needs of K-12 education, SchoolStatus is poised to help districts tackle their data challenges. Our framework connects to district learning and data systems to import all available instructional & operational data in one interface.1
This is an incredible advancement. In addition to acting as a cloud-based data repository, the SchoolStatus platform churns out real-time reports and analytics, helping educators harness big data:
