Turn data into meaningful information with Power BI and Teams

Completed

Schools collect a large amount of data:

  • Absentee reports
  • Incident reports
  • Individualized education programs (IEPs)
  • Testing results
  • And more

Finding a way to analyze large amounts of data and quickly identify at-risk learners can be challenging. When schools can turn data into meaningful information, they can intervene and improve learner outcomes. Microsoft Power BI:

  • Lets staff visually explore all data with a freeform drag-and-drop canvas
  • Offers modern data visualization
  • Provides simple report authoring

Power BI is a powerful tool for schools that can help identify learners at risk.

Once a school creates a Power BI dashboard, the dashboard can be added to the staff team as a tab for staff members. Reviewing the dashboard as a team encourages meaningful conversations among staff leaders and educators and fosters purposeful interventions that improve learner outcomes.

For example, a school that has a Power BI dashboard for absentee reports and incident reports can insert that dashboard into their staff team. Then, educators and school leaders can analyze trends among students who are frequently absent or have frequent incident reports.
