DreamBox Learning Dashboard Provides Timely Insight into Student Proficiency and Progress
BELLEVUE, Wash. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - DreamBox Learning, an adaptive learning company, today announced the
release of DreamBox Learning Administrator Dashboard, a new reporting
tool for school and district administrators enabling them to monitor the
participation, proficiency and progress of all students within a school
using the DreamBox Learning math software. DreamBox Learning will
showcase the dashboard in Booth 2311 during the ASCD National Conference
in San Francisco March 26 - 28.
The DreamBox Learning Administrator Dashboard allows school and district
leaders to track, segment and customize four essential types of
information, including: student use and progress in the curriculum;
concept proficiency viewed by grade level, classroom or change over
time; class usage during user specified timeframes; and school and
classroom license utilization. The Administrator Dashboard reports
enable school and district leaders to identify concept proficiency
strengths and weaknesses among groups of students, uncover holes in the
curriculum, and showcase best practices.
"With 25,000 students in 30 elementary schools in my district, it's
impossible to keep up-to-date with how each one of them is doing on an
ongoing basis," said John SanGiovanni, Instructional Facilitator,
Elementary Mathematics, Howard County Public Schools, Maryland.
"DreamBox Learning has addressed this issue by delivering a diverse
reporting tool that allows me to access and analyze important progress
and proficiency information for each school in my district using the
program. By providing reports on student math comprehension and
progress, the Administrator Dashboard allows me to check at-a-glance
whether our students are on track."
The DreamBox Learning Administrator Dashboard provides straightforward
reports in an intuitive format that are easily customized by grade,
classroom, and intervals. In addition, the tool delivers at-a-glance
information to administrators regarding students' concept-level skills
for classrooms, grades, or an entire school for any date in time.
"DreamBox Learning is committed to supporting educators by providing
valuable data that they can use to inform their instructional practice.
From administrative hallways to the classroom, we've heard the loud call
for insightful progress reporting tools," said Jessie Woolley-Wilson,
CEO of DreamBox Learning. "Our new dashboard delivers an accurate,
up-to-date snapshot of student, classroom and grade-level progress to
principals, math coaches and administrators within a school as well as
district wide."
The DreamBox Learning Administrator Dashboard delivers a suite of four
valuable reports that administrators can use to address various needs.
The School Summary Report offers school leaders a
classroom overview of DreamBox Learning usage and progress along with
how that data varies by classroom and student. The Concept
Proficiency Report highlights student accomplishments by grade
level, classroom and change over time. The Usage Over Time Report details
how and when students use the program both inside and outside of school
hours and how use varies by classroom and schools. The License
Utilization Report helps administrators track expenses and meet
audit requirements by tracking classroom and building utilization and
purchase history.
