Change the narrative around accountability
You don’t have to wait until the official report to start identifying and targeting improvement points in your school!
Protect and grow your school with data
School and district leaders are dealing with high stakes and high pressure. Your students and staff depend on your leadership to grow; the state expects certain indicators of growth to release funds; and lack of growth can negatively impact your school. With so many students under your watch, it can be hard to make sure they’re all supported and excelling at their maximum potential. With Aware, it’s easy to analyze your assessment program and identify students who need additional support.
We hope that our data warehouse and student monitoring tools can change the accountability rating narrative. It’s not about your school or your district. It’s about the success of each student in your district. With Aware, you can incorporate data at every level of your school to help your staff and students thrive. You can also improve weaknesses in curriculum, evaluations, and student monitoring to better safeguard your school.
Form next year's interventions with school-wide data trends
Principals can use our data analysis tools to determine monitor groups for the next school year. It’s important to have all of your ducks in a row when it comes to accountability, and Aware can help you do that. However, it can also help you stay ahead of the curve with advanced program analysis features.
Aware houses student information, such as assessment scores, support needs, and demographic information. Use our many data views to determine where your students and staff may need additional support. If a demographic of students isn’t growing, then you can add them to a monitor group and start crafting interventions.
Determine the learning gaps and support needs of your monitor group with Aware’s detailed search filters and data visualization tools, such as Single Test Analysis.
Get unique monitor group insights using data visualizations
Once you have an idea of who needs support in your community, you can use our data visualization tools to gather insights about where your school is strong and where it can improve. From curriculum planning and assessment to intervention and enrichment, Aware supports every element of student growth.
Multi-Test Analysis allows leaders in each school to group, convert, and compare assessments in order to determine their predictive validity. See group-wide and individual assessment data to determine which groups need additional support.
After you form group-wide hypotheses about learning needs and curriculum improvements, zero in on individual assessments with Single-Test Analysis. Assess each test’s reliability, find and replace weak questions, and determine each student’s depth of knowledge per assessment.
Unite your school with a common goal
