Student Performance SnapShot

 

The Story

Look at student test data and really delve into it.  Deriving meaning from a thick stack of printouts or cross-referencing spreadsheets by hand is hard.  It can take a lot of time and effort to find those discoveries that could make all the difference to a student’s education.  Most data sourcing tools only source data in unfriendly spreadsheet formats.            

The Answer

Student Performance SnapShot™ takes all the data that you collect on your students such as test scores and demographics, and analyzes it.  These results display in an easy-to-understand format so that teachers and administrators can decide how to make a difference in the lives of their students.  Educators can use the information to make informed decisions on how to impact student achievement, school improvement and staff professional development

Scatterplot Graphs

Scatterplots Graphs

PHP queries the massive MySQL database which transforms the results into XML.  The XML feeds a Flash application that provides an intuitive and visually stunning scatterplot.  For instance, you can hover over a "dot" on the scatterplot and a menu pops up showing the student's name.  Click on a student name and you will transfer to a page with extensive details about that student.
