Risk Load Analysis
“Measure twice, cut once.” – Stephen Covey. – District leaders know there is a complex set of factors converging on districts and schools that can make it challenging to teach all students to high levels of rigor. This tool provides actionable intelligence that equips district and campus leaders to systematically identify powerful solutions. By merging a variety of data sources including PEIMS, the American Community Survey census data, and district-supplied data, educators receive information that empowers leaders to make intentional and informed decisions to target funding, personnel and instructional efforts in strategically addressing student needs.
